A university powered by human collaboration

Macquarie – ranked among the top one per cent of universities in the world – is a university engaged with the real and often complex problems and opportunities that define our lives.

Since our foundation more than 55 years ago, we have aspired to be a different type of university: one unbound by ivory towers and sandstone walls. Rather, we are focused on fostering collaboration between students, academics, industry and society. Together we are advancing world-class theoretical thinking and translating it into real-world solutions.

Where collaboration meets innovation

Macquarie is uniquely located in the heart of Australia’s largest high-tech precinct, and our 40,000 students and 3000 staff thrive on a campus that is dynamic, sustainable and built for collaboration.

With more than 300 leading companies located on or around the Macquarie campus, our students are able to tap into industry connections that give them an edge in their future careers, while our staff have access to outstanding research and innovation opportunities with some of the world’s leading organisations.

Expanding the frontiers of knowledge

Macquarie enjoys an enviable reputation for research excellence – 100 per cent of our research is ranked at world standard or above.

We rank among the top four universities in Australia in computation theory and mathematics, the top five in philosophy, the top six in atmospheric sciences, the top seven in horticultural production, the top nine in analytical chemistry, and the top 10 in genetics and pure mathematics.

A proud tradition of innovating

Macquarie has a robust record of innovation – we pioneered the technology that underpins modern wi-fi systems, the first synthetic funnel-web spider antivenom, and a sterile insect technique that is used to combat crop-destroying fruit flies. Today, we’re focused on finding cures for motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia.

Building successful graduates

Our pioneering approach to teaching and learning is built around a connected learning community: our students are considered partners and co-creators in their learning experience. Their face-to-face experience is paired with sophisticated and interactive digital resources, and their degrees are linked to the latest research discoveries.
