This friendly university enjoys particular renown in subject areas like engineering, environment, law and media & communications.

Its faculty of human sciences has strong linguistics and psychology departments, and also provides study abroad students with the opportunity to enroll in early childhood studies. 

Located in suburban Sydney, within commuting distance of the Central Business District (30 minutes by train), Macquarie's spacious and lush campus hosts 39,000 students, over 7-9,000 of whom are international.

What I value most is my introduction to the Aboriginal culture. It brought an awareness to my attention of cultural differences. ”
