Macquarie University
ABOUT USQ :
The University of Southern Queensland is a leader in flexible learning, has a significant profile in regionally relevant research and is closely engaged with its communities.
HISTORY :
Established in 1964, Macquarie University’s first students began arriving in 1967. The initial undergraduates enrolled in a single degree offering a range of subjects. Against a backdrop of the Vietnam War, social change, women’s lib, and youth protest there was still time for the essentials of campus life – entertainment, study, and graduation.
As Macquarie – Australia’s Innovative University – began to capture the public imagination student numbers grew from 1274 in 1967 to more than 22,000 by the late 90s. As numbers boomed, students organised themselves to provide live music and information services … not to mention practical jokes and a few laughs on Conception Day.
Pioneering, different, ground-breaking … Macquarie’s reputation for innovation attracted students from all walks of life, including large numbers from overseas. As well as becoming richly international, the University drew ever more people to its dynamic postgraduate courses. As the new millennium dawned, Macquarie had conferred some 58,000 degrees, diplomas and postgraduate certificates.
VISION :
Macquarie's vision is to be a borderless university with a particular outreach to the Asian-Pacific and increasing reputation for the development of graduates across the world who are prepared for the global society of the 21st century. This strategic vision informs all of their activities; international and domestic; and supports the Vice-Chancellor's 30 element internationalisation checklist.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS :
The International Student Services team at Macquarie University offers a continuing support service to international students. They provide advice and information on matters ranging from immigration, visa and health insurance procedures, administrative and fee advice, to welfare and social activities.
You are encouraged to seek advice and information from Macquarie International at any time during your stay at Macquarie. You can make an appointment to "drop in" and talk with an International Student Adviser.
