Information Sheet-Macquarie University  (PDF 16kb)
Macquarie University boasts a diverse and welcoming community of 31,000 students, with 8,800 international students from over 114 countries. Ranked among Australia’s nine top universities and within the top 40 in the Asia-Pacific region (Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Rankings of World Universities, 2009), Macquarie University is recognised for its innovative curriculum, high-quality teaching and research, and unique campus environment. Macquarie University ensures that our students develop qualities, skills and knowledge that are essential to succeed in a challenging, changing world.
Macquarie University’s North Ryde campus is located in parklands only 30 minutes drive (15 kilometres) north-west of Sydney Harbour and Sydney’s central business district. The modern, well-equipped campus is set on 126 hectares of peaceful parkland in one of Australia’s premier high-technology corridors. In 2009, we became the first university in Australia to have its own train station on campus, meaning we’re now connected to the city by underground rail.
World-leading research is undertaken by Macquarie’s faculty and students, and many discoveries are quickly applied to meet the needs of industry, society and the environment. Macquarie’s goal is to be one of the top eight research-intensive universities in Australia and among the top 200 in the world by its 50th anniversary in 2014.
Recently, Macquarie established the Australian School of Advanced Medicine, moved into high-technology engineering, and identified concentrations of research excellence (COREs), meaning the Macquarie concentrates on distinct research areas of the highest quality. Macquarie also has doctoral research partnerships with 53 universities from 22 countries.
