If you’re looking for a safe and friendly destination offering a dynamic, multicultural experience while you study, look no further than Sydney.
The oldest city in Australia, Sydney is the country’s economic and financial hub, and is home to the regional headquarters of around 500 multinational companies. Wherever you choose to develop your career, Sydney is the perfect place to start.
Australia is famous for its relaxed lifestyle, astounding landscapes, and high standards – particularly in education and healthcare. First inhabited by Indigenous people at least 50,000 years ago, Australia has attracted people from more than 200 countries to study and migrate. Wherever you come from, you are likely to find people from your country who have made their home ‘Down Under’.
WELCOME TO OUR HOMELocated only 15 kilometres from Sydney’s central business district, Macquarie is easily accessible by public transport. We offer our students a full accommodation service, including free airport pick-up when you first arrive. You’ll also be able to settle in and make new friends before classes start during our international orientation program.
WE MAKE IT EASYMacquarie University participates in the Australian Government’s streamlined student visa processing system, available to only the highest-quality education providers. This means that if you choose to study at Macquarie, you will likely need to produce fewer documents and could expect faster processing times when applying for a visa.

“ I’ve experienced the cross-cultural and media issues we discussed in class in my everyday life, and I’ve seen the different ways the media reports my culture in Australia and the way Australia is represented in Brazil. In every class of mine there were between seven and ten nationalities represented. Sometimes you take things about your own culture for granted, but these classes make you conscious of your own culture, and tolerant and understanding of others.”
RAPHAEL BRASIL || MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION, BRAZIL
“ As an alumnus of Macquarie University, I will never regret the time I spent here. Since I started my first job back in China, I have seen a lot of value from my education in Australia, especially when it came to finding that first job.” DONGQI XIE || MASTER OF COMMERCE, CHINA

Studying at Macquarie will give you more than just a degree; it will provide a life-changing experience and build the foundations for a satisfying career.
I got the opportunity to work with senior staff in Ernst and Young by participating in FOBE200.

Not only did I get valuable team working experience, I also got precious feedback from experts in the industry.ELLIOTT ZHU

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE | 2017 23
We offer courses and degrees that are interdisciplinary, but we also give you the option to undertake a double degree in either a complementary, or completely different, area of study.
DOUBLE DEGREESDouble degrees increase your career flexibility and enrich your studies as they are structured to allow different areas of knowledge to feed into each other. They also fast-track your study – you usually complete double degrees one or even two years faster than you would consecutive single degrees.
Macquarie offers double degrees across a wide range of fields, meaning that you can combine almost any areas of study such as commerce with engineering, environment with law, or actuarial studies with science.
By undertaking a double degree, you can feed your curiosity, look at things from multiple perspectives and challenge the norm – all while gaining a high-quality qualification.
UNDERGRADUATE MAJORSOur undergraduate courses and degrees – both single and double – are structured in two ways. Some of our courses require that you follow a specific sequence of units that must be completed in order to graduate. Others allow you to choose from a wide range of majors, which represent a particular focus for your study. These majors are known as qualifying majors as they meet all of the course’s requirements.
We offer more than 100 majors that will broaden your studies and help you develop industry-specific skills, with majors ranging from anthropology and climate science to economics, international communication, marketing, politics and software engineering.
The flexibility doesn’t end there. In addition to completing the required qualifying major for a course, you may also be able to undertake a second, or double, major from an approved set of majors offered across the University.
When choosing your major, or combination of majors, it’s best that you speak with an academic adviser to make sure the study program you choose meets all of the requirements for graduation.
POSTGRADUATE SPECIALISATIONSFor postgraduate students, some courses offer a range of focus areas, which are known as specialisations.
Over the following pages, you’ll find a wide range of courses that will help you reach your career goals. For more information on all of our courses, visit courses.mq.edu.au

98 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE | 2017
mq.edu.au/glossary
MAJOR AND SPECIALISATIONMajors (undergraduate) and specialisations (postgraduate) are particular areas of study that you focus on within your course. For example, the Bachelor of Arts offers more than 50 majors and the Master of Commerce offers eight specialisations. Majors and specialisations are made up of structured sequences of units.
MINORMinors are made up of fewer credit points than a major. They allow you to study two complementary, or different areas, that interest you.
PACE
PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) units include internships, special projects and domestic or overseas travel experiences.
POSTGRADUATE A course of academic study higher than a bachelor degree.
RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)Your prior learning, both formal and informal, can be assessed for admission and credit towards your Macquarie University degree. Remember to ask for RPL when you apply.
SESSIONA session is a period of study, just like a school term. Some universities call them semesters. At Macquarie, we have three sessions: Session 1 runs between February and June, and Session 2 runs between August and November. Session 3 is optional and intensive. It runs between December and February and can fast-track your course.
STUDENT VISA An authorisation permitting people to come to Australia for the primary purpose of studying, as defined by Migration Act 1958
UNDERGRADUATEA course of academic study for a bachelor degree is regarded as an undergraduate course.
UNITUnits are what we call subjects. Most full-time students take four units – each worth a fixed number of credit points – per session.

If you would like some local help with applying, Macquarie has authorised representatives in most countries that can help you with the application process. Visit international.mq.edu.au/representatives to find the contact details for our authorised representatives.
Visit mq.edu.au/international-how-to-apply for more information about applying to Macquarie as an international student.
HOW DO I APPLY FOR A MACQUARIE SCHOLARSHIP?
We offer a wide range of scholarships for international students. If you would like to apply for a scholarship, you must first submit an application for the course you want to study.
When we receive your completed application we will issue you with a Macquarie Student Number, which is required for you to apply for any scholarship.
It's important to know that while you can apply for a scholarship once you have your student number, it won't be evaluated until you have received a full or packaged offer from us.

WHAT IS THE COST OF LIVING IN AUSTRALIA?
Your cost of living and studying in Australia will depend on the lifestyle you choose to lead. Visit mq.edu.au/cost-of-living for a guide to calculating living expenses.
WHEN ARE THE APPLICATION DEADLINES AND WHEN DO CLASSES START?
For most courses there are no specific application deadlines; however, we recommend international students submit their application at least three months before the session commences. This will ensure there is sufficient time for the Admissions team to assess your application (typically five to 10 days) and, if successful, for you to accept your offer, apply for a student visa and make travel arrangements.
Some courses do have specific application deadlines, which are noted in the 'How to Apply' section of the relevant course information page.
Visit mq.edu.au/international-dates for commencement, orientation and other key dates.
HOW DO I PLAN MY ARRIVAL AND ACCOMMODATION?
We can arrange accommodation either on or off campus, as well as help with travel planning and airport pick-ups.
