Macquarie University
About
Macquarie University was established in 1964 as a bold experiment in higher education. Built to break from traditions and work in tandem with industry, we strive for the extraordinary by challenging convention and embracing different views.
Led by our academics and researchers, we continue our pioneering approach – from inventing Wi-Fi with the CSIRO, to enhancing graduate employability through personalised degrees and degrees co-designed with industry.
In recognition of the Aboriginal country on which Macquarie University is situated, our main campus in Macquarie Park is known as the Wallumattagal Campus.
Macquarie is a university of service and engagement.
We serve and engage our students, staff and the broader community through transformative learning and life experiences, the discovery and dissemination of ideas, and innovation underpinned by deep and varied partnerships.
Our vision
We aspire to be:
· a destination of choice for students and staff who share our values
· deeply connected with our stakeholders and partners, and known for this globally
· ranked among the highest-performing research universities of Australia and, for key disciplines, to be recognised globally for our pre-eminence
· known across Australia and beyond as custodians of a remarkable university campus that blends the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan university village with a setting of Australian natural bushland.
Our values
· Scholarship: we believe learning, enquiry and discovery improve lives.
· Integrity: we conduct ourselves ethically, equitably and for mutual benefit.
· Empowerment: we make our community a source of strength and creativity.
