Macquarie University (reviews)

As an international student, the leap to a whole new country and continent was daunting.
but Macquarie university has been nothing but accommodating and understanding.
not only have I been able to immerse myself in the Australian culture but I am also being taught by proficient tutors and professors.
with an emphasis on practical-based learning, I have gained valuable knowledge and experience during my time at Macquarie.

I am happy with my choice of Macquarie University for my Bachelor’s degree. My major in screen production has allowed me to explore practically every element of filmmaking possible. If you were looking to focus on very specific areas of study, I would perhaps look elsewhere. But for someone who has an interest in the field and isn’t sure what they want to do, I have found the university opens your eyes to a world of possibilities. The campus is beautiful and easily accessible and makes an effort to create a sense of community.

As a student, it is difficult to choose your future career. My top priority is to always be “myself” when doing anything. This is why I decided on Macquarie University. At Macquarie, you can study whatever course “you” want, leading to who “you” want to be. You can select not only one but two degrees as “your” choice. For example, you want to study business management but have a passion for fashion. So why not combine the two? This is what I appreciate about Macquarie. I get to step outside of my comfort zone to express my personality and character. Because every teacher here values “me” more than a career, I can feel the passion and purpose in my study journey. I believe that with the enthusiastic assistance of my teachers, I will be able to make an excellent career choice.

Macquarie university is great in general. However, there is room of improvement on study areas and further learning hub program for students such as graphic design or photo editing as some students who does not study the relevant course are keen to learn other skills.

Macquarie gives good and sufficient support for its students. As a student, you can get free counselling sessions. Also, Macquarie has a team on campus to help students get all the support they need for employment and jobs. Overall, Macquarie Uni is quite receptive of students’ needs.

With my time at Macquarie heavily impacted by Covid, I was heavily engaged with the university’s online platforms. I have found them both simple and easy to use and allows students a more flexible study.

I think Macquarie University is a very good university. The teacher is very professional and patient. Well equipped. I learned a lot of media-related knowledge and skills in the class, including video and audio editing.

Macquarie University is a great place that deals with diversity among students and helping with those dealing with special circumstances.
For example I had to deal with something extremely difficult during the end of year assessment period and they were very helpful in allowing me more time to finish assessments and offered mental health resources if the need arose.
