About the study place

Macquarie University is located in Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, with its campus in the suburb of Macquarie Park, just outside the city centre.

Sydney is Australia’s largest city and, with around 5.3 million inhabitants, a true metropolitan area. The city is home to iconic landmarks such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, and is known for its fast pace, wide range of cultural activities and nightlife, and a highly diverse population. At the same time, Sydney is a coastal city, with famous beaches such as Bondi Beach nearby. As in many Australian cities, living costs are high, particularly when it comes to housing.

Macquarie University was established in 1964 and is a public research university with a strong international profile. The university is particularly well known for subject areas such as business and economics, social sciences, media and communication studies, IT, psychology, education and health. The campus offers modern facilities and an active student community.
