Macquarie University
City of Sydney
|
Sydney is Australia’s most famous city for good reason – from the sparkling harbor and city beaches to the cosmopolitan city center, Sydney has something for everyone. If you’re a city person, you’ll be enchanted by the charm of Sydney – all the best aspects of major cities around the world with a serving of Australian hospitality and friendliness and a dash of great weather. For those who love the outdoors, you’re moments away from World Heritage listed national parks, pristine beaches, and one of the most active sporting cultures in the world. To get the most out of studying in a place like Sydney, you’ve got to study at Macquarie University. Macquarie is genuinely Australia’s “Innovative University,” known around the country and world for its flexible learning programs and unparalleled support services. The Study Abroad program at Macquarie University is no exception – take an internship for credit and get to know your personal Study Abroad Advisor. As a truly multi-cultural university, Macquarie also has a student club dedicated to getting overseas students to meet the locals and get the most out of what Australia has to offer. |

Even if you’re only at Macquarie for a semester, you can participate in activities with degree-seeking students. There’s a plethora of activities to get involved in while you’re at Macquarie.
