Macquarie University is recognised globally for its pre-eminence in key research disciplines, as well as producing graduates who are among the most sought-after professionals in the world.
Since our foundation in 1964, we have aspired to be a different type of university: one unbound by ivory towers and sandstone walls. Rather, we are focused on fostering collaboration between students, academics, industry and society, encouraging all to traverse the boundaries of their own perspectives and effect change.
Macquarie is home to more than 44,000 students and 3000 staff, and awards more than 10,000 degrees each year.
Our main Wallumattagal campus in Macquarie Park includes multi-billion dollar infrastructure, providing cutting-edge learning opportunities. Students, staff and partners benefit from:
- Australia’s most high-tech library
- Australia’s first and only not-for-profit hospital on a university campus
our location within the Macquarie Park Innovation District, one of the largest business and technology precincts in the Southern Hemisphere.
