If you’re considering studying at university next year, you’re probably feeling a bit
overwhelmed by all of the choices available to you. There are so many unis out there and so
many degrees to choose from!
So, before you make that all-important decision, ask yourself what’s important to you about
university and the degree you’re keen to study.
Do you want to study a degree you can personalise?
One that’s been co-designed with industry?
Or maybe one that has internships that are built in?
Do you want to study at a uni whose campus is green and spacious, as well as being home to state-of-the art facilities?
Or study at a uni that’s ranked number one in Sydney for graduate employment rate and that offers a one-of-a-kind employment service?
If you answered yes to any of these, Macquarie University might just be the perfect choice
for you. But why’s that? Here’s a few reasons.
PERSONALISED DEGREES
You can undertake one of more than 40 single bachelor degrees or one of countless double
bachelor degrees. While a single degree generally focuses on a specific area, you’ll have lots of scope to choose units from outside your degree. This means you’ll gain the skills you’ll need for your career, but you can also follow your passions in diverse areas. If you’re
considering a double degree, you might be interested to know that while all universities offer
double degrees, we allow you to personalise your double degree by choosing the combination you consider will best kickstart your career.
DEGREES CO-DESIGNED BY INDUSTRY
So that our degrees equip you with the capabilities that employers are looking for now and
into the future, we design many of them in consultation with industry. Degrees co-designed
with organisations such as Accenture, Adobe and Fujitsu, offer a curriculum that’s shaped by
the latest industry trends and can be adjusted to respond to the needs of industry in real time.
DEGREES WITH IN-BUILT INTERNSHIPS
Practical experiences are built into all of our degrees, so you’ll graduate with the knowledge
and skills needed to meet the current and future challenges of your profession. In-built
practical experience is made available through our unique PACE (Professional and
Community Engagement) program, while our extracurricular Global Leadership Program
helps you develop cross-cultural and leadership skills. Plus, if international experience is
something you’re keen to explore, you’ll have many options to undertake overseas – or
virtual – exchange.
A CAMPUS BUILT FOR COLLABORATION
We’re uniquely located in the heart of Australia’s largest high-tech precinct and we’re only a
quick Metro ride from the Sydney CBD. Our campus is green and spacious with so many
different spots to either hang out with your friends, relax by yourself, or hit the books. What’s
more, $1 billion has been injected into campus development initiatives, so many of our
facilities are brand new, state-of-the-art and built for collaboration.
CAREER AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
Our Career and Employment Service will work closely with you so that you’re in the best
position to secure the job of your dreams. Our staff will help you build your résumé and
online profile, workshop your interview skills and provide advice about building your
networks. You’ll also have access to a recruitment service that’s unique among universities –
you’ll be matched with local industry partners who want to employ motivated students and
graduates in casual, part-time and full-time roles.
So, now that you’re across so much of what Macquarie has to offer, surely you’re not still
unsure about where you want to study! But if you are, why not speak with our fantastic
recruitment team. You can catch them at futurestudents@mq.edu.au or on (02) 9850 6767.
