Macquarie University REVIEW [An Unbiased Review by Choosing Your Uni]

Macquarie University is one of many university options in Sydney.
So what makes it special and why would you choose it over other institutions?
Maybe it's the beautiful parkland campus?
Maybe it's some of the world-class discipline areas?
Maybe it's to be living in a thriving part of Sydney, but outside the city centre?
There are heaps of reasons why this institution is great, including the fact that it is investing significantly in new facilities for students.
Many years ago I completed both my Bachelors (Science) and Masters (Arts) degrees at MQ, so this uni has a special place in my heart.
But personal experience aside, MQ is a strong contender for many students and well worth a look.

Macquarie University has certainly transformed over the years....was studying there in the late 80s and parking then was ample! The area that looked exactly the same was Wally's Walk(?)...the sight of the maple trees in autumn was breathtaking! Thanks for bringing back fond memories of my student days! Really miss the place!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Glad to oblige! A lot has changed, as you say. That beautiful student courtyard of trees in front of the student union had to be demolished because the trees were dropping branches. Can’t wait to see what they build there! It wasn’t finished last time I was there...

It's incredible how you interact with everyone who comment on your videos. I took a semester at Macquarie and one at Griffith while studying abroad from Europe. Considering taking a Graduate Diploma after my master's to complement my skillset and establish a foothold for working in Australia :-) Great to look through your videos!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Thanks Tricko - I try to reply to people because I know it helps! What grad dip are you looking to do? And where are you from originally?

[@Likkivi]

​@@ChoosingYourUni I am from Denmark and already have a master's degree in innovation and entrepreneurship with a bachelor's in interactive media. I've been abroad for 4 semesters during my studies with internships and exchange so maybe it's somewhat of an addictive motivation ;) Well my self-idealized purpose is threefold: 1: My girlfriend is likely to study in Australia next year 2: I find that I lack some applied skills within IT/analytics to execute on tasks in marketing, user experience design, and management 3: I am quite keen on seeking long term permanent employment in Australia My heart is set on UQ tbh, but it is for more sentimental reasons. They do however have an IT GDip with flexibile options unlike QUT for instance. Go8 is more expensive but having been at 2 other Aussie unis I'd really like to round off at one of the "flagships".

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Interesting. Where did you do your 4 semesters abroad?

[@Likkivi]

@@ChoosingYourUni Australia twice, Singapore and Norway. Although I can see from the visa rules that a GDip doesn't put me in a special position for a graduate visa - so I will perhaps look at alternatives. Do you know why doing a study abroad at Australian unis is remarkably cheaper than being a matriculated student on a semester basis?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Market dynamics is the only reason. Unis compete for study abroad students with price being one driver. They would also say that there’s less work involved because there’s no award being provided in the end (so less staff time committed to academic advising, checking you’ve met degree requirements, less use of facilities etc).

[@pugboi8017]

I got recommended this video. Dude this looks like the best campus in australia, when you look at utility, damn a supermarket and all those shops in there and basically a train station too

Great review! I am currently undecided between WSU and Macquarie University. Which one offers a better IT Program/course? Thank you in advance.

Both these programs have their strengths. I personally studied at Macquarie so I am a little biased and would prefer MQ over WSU for that program, but WSU has a lot going for it too - including being in a fast-growing region of Sydney.

[@nicseale6511]

I have offers for Applied Finance and Law at Macquarie as well as Commerce at UNSW. Would love to hear which you would recommend

[@ChoosingYourUni]

The Applied Finance program at MQ is one of the top in the country. Business at UNSW is also well reputed. Either would be a good program so I’d base that decision on course plus other things like proximity to home, extracurricular activities etc

[@milan3066]

Hey Rob, been watching your videos for a couple months and I'm applying here for a BSc Physics with a specialization in astrophysics, I'm in doubt if this area of Sydney has enough job choices for me as a student and is there any alternative to connect with a senior in this same expertise, except for the "student connect" in their website? (the website is quite unresponsive in this feature, as far as I've experienced)

[@ChoosingYourUni]

I’m not sure about that. You could try contacting the faculty directly though. That’s quite a niche degree so they might be receptive to talking with you directly or putting you in touch with a current student.

I don’t know that specific degree but I do know some of the components well - like linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, audiology and speech pathology - all areas where MQ has awesome programs. Based on that I’d say it should be a solid program.

[@marcolassandro9426]

Hi Rob ! I've two offers respectively from USC (bachelor of animal ecology) at the Fraser coast campus and UNE (bachelor of environmental science) at the Armidale campus. It's really a tough call for me, do you have any information to share about these options ?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Oooo, that’s two good options. I’d give some thought to two things: 1. What kind of environments are you most interested in? USC is closer to the coast. UNE is inland. 2. What kind of overall experience are you looking for? UNE is going to be a completely unique, classic Australian experience: country town, friendly locals, kangaroos on campus. Like that. USC is going to be more a beachside experience - if you like warm weather and the beach, this will be a good choice!

[@marcolassandro9426]

A Life That Travels Living in a inland and rural area I’d like to experience a different kind of environment and surely the USC is more suitable for that. Thanks a bunch for your insight !

[@marcolassandro9426]

Hi Rob ! I’ve received also an offer from the SCU for studying environmental science. I’d like to stay in a warmer place so considering that UNE is a bit less appealing for me. Which place would you advise between Lismore and Harvey bay all things considered, besides the weather which I think is more similar ? Furthermore, can you also give me your opinion about the differences between these two kind of degrees ( I’d prefer a work more on the field rather than on the office ).

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Hi Marco - sorry for the long delay in replying. SCU Lismore is a great uni for envi sci. Lismore is a cool community (albeit quite small) and the university is very friendly and inclusive. Lismore isn't on the coast, but it's only 20-30 miles away from Byron Bay, so if you like camping and getting outdoors, you'll be close to the beach. Here are two vlogs I filmed in the region: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHrGh5-Lp7Rmodk - Brunswick Heads kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIfOp2aedrJ_Zs0 - Byron Bay Harvey Bay is very small. The campus there is also small. If you're hoping for an on-campus experience, Lismore is probably a better bet. If you have more questions, PM me on Instagram: @alifethattravels It's easier to keep track of comments there than here on KZbin!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

MQ has a good psych program. I know people who did it and had a good experience. Regarding single or double degrees, it depends what you want to do afterwards. The BPsy Hons is the purest path, good if you’re hoping to get into clinical work or research. A double might work better if you’re hoping to get into something applied, like consumer behaviour.

I would like to hear your thoughts on Macquarie's IT school

[@ChoosingYourUni]

It was good when I was working there years ago. Not 100% sure what it’s like there - there are some top IT programs in Sydney.

[@iYousef911]

Don’t go it worst uni especially in IT

[@ChoosingYourUni]

If you can provide more details as to why you say this Yousef I’ll leave the comment up. Just saying “it’s crap” doesn’t help anyone. What are your reasons for this?

I’m in no position to comment on your marks but if you felt you were hard done by you have a right to query it. Did you get any answers from the faculty as to why your mark was so different to that of your friend?

Hi! I found this video at the right moment! I just received a conditional acceptance to Macquarie University for Master of Business Analytics. This video really helps me to understand more about the uni ❤️ Can you also help me with your thoughts about this course here?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

I think that will be a good course at MQ. The uni is solid for both business and statistics, plus is a beautiful place to study!

[@anonymous-do5bs]

What's your opinion on Macquarie's masters in management course? Or are there better uni's in Sydney?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

That’s historically been a good program at MQ. I’d recommend it. There are certainly other good business programs in Sydney in that space - I like both UTS and UNSW for that discipline. Really depends what you’re looking for on top of the degree as each uni has different strengths.

[@anonymous-do5bs]

@@ChoosingYourUni MQ is my first choice. Second is probably Wollongong. The other uni's cost an arm and a leg, especially UTS. I have a question about post graduate visa. English is my first language. Do I still need an IELTS score to apply for the visa?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Sure, MQ is a good program. The IELTS requirement is based on your nationality and/or where you’ve done previous studies. I’ve actually filmed a video on that topic which I’ll release in the coming months. If you Google it you’ll find the details easily enough.

[@Pk-wu9tl]

@@ChoosingYourUni I want to go into the business side of fashion, work for the multi national parent companies in operations

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Great. That’s awesome that you can be so specific. In this case I’d say yes, it is worth the investment, but with an important caveat. You should choose a uni that has a strong design or fashion section in addition to a strong business program. That’s because one of the valuable parts of Uni is the people you meet and connection you make. A general business course at most unis will give you the basics. But you’ve got a specific idea in mind so should go after a specific outcome. That outcome should be getting to know as many people who work in fashion and design while you’re at uni. I’d recommend looking at a uni like RMIT or other unis with good combined programs and strengths in the relevant areas.

[@suhass4445]

Deakin university/RMIT/Macquarie Which is the best uni for mba(finance) sir

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Macquarie the university is completely separate and different from Macquarie the bank. They aren't the same.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

These are 3 very good universities and 3 good MBAs. It's been awhile since I looked specifically at MBAs but MQs MBA is probably the most "prestigious" of the 3. The finance area has been highly reputed for a very long time.

[@abuosamahuda7183]

Hey brother! What's about MBA program Is it worth it from doing here

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Back in my day at MQ, the MBA program was one of the best in the country and, in fact, in the whole Asia Pac region. It isn’t what it was in its heyday but remains a very good program imo

I like the media program at Macquarie. It’s been going a long time. There’s plenty of work out there but that doesn’t mean anyone should be complacent. Make sure you do as much as possible at Uni to get practical experience: do an internship or international study tour, join the Global Leadership and PACE programs and try to get to know your faculty by volunteering or research projects. That’s the way to get ahead 👍
