That’s YOU to the power of us

At Macquarie, we have discovered the human equation for success. By knocking down the walls between departments, and uniting the powerhouses of research and industry, human collaboration can flourish. This is the exponential power of our collective, where potential is multiplied by a campus and curriculum designed to foster collaboration for the benefit of everyone. Because we believe when we all work together, we multiply our ability to achieve remarkable things.

“I love the liveliness in Sydney – there’s a buzz whenever you go to the city and there’s always something to do. I enjoy going to Circular Quay and watching the sun set next to the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. I don’t think I’d ever get sick of it!”Melissa Gojer BACHELOR OF COMMERCE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GRADUATE FROM INDIA

If you are looking for a safe and friendly destination offering a dynamic, multicultural experience while you study, look no further than Sydney.

The oldest and most populous city in Australia, Sydney is the country’s economic and financial hub, and is home to the regional headquarters of around 500 multinational companies. Wherever you choose to develop your career, Sydney is the perfect place to start.

Australia is famous for its relaxed lifestyle, astounding landscapes and high standards – particularly in education and healthcare. First inhabited by Indigenous people at least 50,000 years ago, Australia has attracted people from more than 190 countries to study and migrate. Wherever you come from, you are likely to find people from your country who have made their home ‘Down Under’.

WELCOME TO OUR HOMELocated only 15 kilometres from Sydney’s central business district, Macquarie is easily accessible by public transport, with our own on-campus train station. We offer our students a full accommodation service, including free airport pickup when you first arrive. You will also be able to settle in and make new friends before classes start during our international orientation program.

It’s our mission at Macquarie to prepare you for the future – whatever it’s going to look like for you. With experts predicting that by 2025 around 50 per cent of jobs as we know them today won’t exist, it’s vital that when you graduate you have a skill set that allows you to reinvent yourself in any industry. So we’ll encourage and support you to develop your practical know-how alongside your technical skills, grab opportunities to experience new things here in Australia and across the globe, get as much hands-on experience as you can, and network with our industry and community partners.

That’s YOU to the power of us

Page 13: 2020 International student guide - Macquarie University · a measurable difference in the world is the dream of many. At Macquarie, we provide you with the necessary building blocks

FUTURE SUCCESS SECURED FOR

Page 14: 2020 International student guide - Macquarie University · a measurable difference in the world is the dream of many. At Macquarie, we provide you with the necessary building blocks

SECURE YOUR FUTUREA career that is both rewarding and makes a measurable difference in the world is the dream of many. At Macquarie, we provide you with the necessary building blocks to set your dream in motion – just one of the many reasons why Macquarie is ranked in the top 10 in Australia for graduate employment.

STEPPING STONES TO YOUR CAREERTo help you succeed, we’ve established a set of career accelerator initiatives through which we’ll educate, enable and empower you to launch your career in whatever field ignites your passion.

Our career accelerator initiatives ensure that by the time you graduate you’re irresistible to employers. The initiatives are built around three key stages:

• Educate – we’ll help you determine what type of career is the best fit for you, provide you with advice about what employers expect of you and help you develop your career management skills.

• Enable – we’ll work with you to secure a placement in a work or community setting. Placements can include paid and unpaid internships, uni vacation arrangements or degree-based work experience. They can be short term – running for a couple of months – or long term across a year or more.

• Empower – we’ll work with you following your placement to reflect on your experience, help you build your résumé and online profile, workshop your interview skills and provide advice about building your networks – all in preparation for you to start your career.

INDUSTRY-RELEVANT DEGREESThe world is changing at a rapid pace. The employability skills that were sought after two years ago may not be so well regarded or even necessary in five or 10 years’ time. So that our degrees equip you with skills for the future, we design many of them in consultation with industry. This means we can respond to the needs of industry in real time, and you’ll develop the most relevant skills.

WHAT EMPLOYERS WANTOur degrees are not only backed by industry, they also provide practical real-world learning – learning that’s facilitated through our unique programs. For example, our award-winning Global Leadership Program is recognised as Australia’s flagship leadership program in a tertiary setting. Our PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) program – the only one of its kind in Australia – gives you practical experience that’s fully integrated into your degree. And our Student Exchange program – one of the best in Australia – allows you to gain academic credit at one of our 150 global partners, along with job-ready skills before you graduate. All this practical learning ensures you graduate with the skills and experience that employers are looking for.

“When faced with a problem, a group of people with a homogeneous way of thinking might come up with a solution very quickly. But when the group consists of people from different countries, genders, faiths and backgrounds, the result will be a powerful solution where every iteration has been discussed – thus making it possible to find the best result. This is the true value of diversity.”Enrique Vargas del CampoSENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER, GOOGLE MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS GRADUATE

GETTING TO AND FROM CAMPUSMacquarie's campus is located just 15 kilometres from Sydney's city centre. Once you have arrived, you will discover that Sydney's public transport system is safe, efficient and easy to use. Macquarie University even has its own train station, with a new Metro Line. There will be a train leaving every 4 minutes in peak times and no timetable will be needed - you can just turn up and go. The train line connects to Chatswood Station, and from there you can changeover to the city stations (Wynyard, Town Hall and Central). Bus routes also connect the campus to popular Sydney destinations including world-famous Bondi Beach, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Town Hall.

THE FUTURE’S IN YOUR HANDS

Macquarie has always considered our students to be co-creators in their learning. One of the most exciting developments in our new curriculum is around your ability to study two degrees at once.

Interested in studying business administration and arts? How about finance and IT or media and communications with marketing? Or maybe you’re interested in a less traditional combination – how about science with commerce? We've put together a list of pre-approved preferred double combinations for you to choose from.

Visit mq.edu.au/double-degrees for more information about our double degrees*.

START YOUR CAREER SOONER

Double degrees fast-track your study – you usually complete a double degree one or even two years faster than you would undertaking both degrees on their own. This not only saves you time, but money as well.

IMPROVE YOUR EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS

Double degrees involve studying two complementary or completely different degrees and can increase your career flexibility and lead to greater employment prospects.

FEED YOUR CURIOSITY

By undertaking one of our double degrees, you can feed your curiosity and look at things from multiple perspectives – all while gaining two high quality qualifications.

DOUBLE YOUR EXPERTISEWITH OUR DOUBLE DEGREES

Through engagement with innovative approaches and thinking, this course will empower you to comprehend and evaluate contemporary regional and global developments, and will equip you for an international career in diplomacy, journalism, the NGO sector, international business or academia.

If you require further English language study before you commence your degree at Macquarie University or Macquarie University International College, or if you simply wish to improve your language skills and you’re keen to meet other international students, the English Language Centre (ELC) is here to help you achieve your goals.

You can apply to have your English language program and degree included in one packaged offer with competitive pricing. You can also include Standard Foundation, Intensive or Diploma programs in this package. This gives you the benefit of a reserved place in your chosen study plan.

The English Language Program is offered in 5-week teaching blocks over the course of a year, organised around electives of General English, Academic English and Direct Entry. Students are placed in an elective based on their individual language level and/or intended progression to Macquarie University. Successful students will articulate into the University's Foundation Program, Intensive Program, Diplomas, Bachelor or Master Degrees if they meet the specified language level for the relevant program.

CORE ZONEThis zone is compulsory and covers the specific disciplinary or professional requirements of the course.

COURSEA course, also called a degree, is a qualification awarded by the university upon successful completion of a particular sequence of study. Some courses, like the Bachelor of Arts or Master of Commerce, require a major or specialisation to be completed as part of the degree.

CREDIT POINTEach course requires a specified number of credit points to be completed in order to graduate. Each unit in a course is worth a certain number of credit points which reflects the amount of work required for that unit. One credit point equals around 15 hours of work, including class time.

CRICOSThe Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is an Australian Government register that lists all Australian education providers and their approved courses of study which can be offered to overseas students for study in Australia on a student visa.

DOUBLE DEGREESDouble degrees involve studying two complementary or completely different degrees. Double degrees increase your career flexibility and can be completed faster than two single degrees by forgoing the Flexible Zone of each degree.

FLEXIBLE ZONEThis zone provides breadth to the course and is comprised of elective units.

FOUNDATION ZONEThis zone provides the foundational knowledge needed to succeed in the course if you are coming from a different disciplinary background.

IELTSThe International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an English language test. IELTS test scores are one form of evidence of English language proficiency accepted by Macquarie.

MAJORA major is a focused sequence of study in a particular subject area within an undergraduate course, such as the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Commerce. A major contains 8 units and you may be able to complete a double major in two different subject areas within a single degree.

PACEPACE (Professional and Community Engagement) units are practical work-integrated learning units and may include internships, special projects and domestic or overseas travel experiences.

Glossary of termsWHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

POSTGRADUATE A postgraduate student is one who is studying a degree higher than a bachelor degree – such as a graduate certificate, graduate diploma, or master degree.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)Your prior learning includes both formal qualifications and other non-formal learning such as work experience which can be assessed and recognised for admission and credit towards your Macquarie University degree. Remember to ask for RPL when you apply.

SELECTION RANKThe selection rank is the minimum score required for entry to an undergraduate course and is based on the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR). For international students, selection ranks have been converted into equivalent scores for recognised international high school qualifications and university entrance examinations, such as the IB, GCE A-Levels, and SAT.

SESSIONA session is a division of the academic year into study periods. Macquarie has three sessions of study: Session 1 (February–June), Session 2 (July–November), and an optional intensive Session 3 (December–February).

SPECIALISATIONA specialisation is similar to a major, but offers even greater focus in a particular subject area, making up at least half of a degree's course units. Specialisations are available in both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees such as the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Master of Commerce. Only one specialisation may be completed within a single degree.

STUDENT VISA An authorisation permitting people to come to Australia for the primary purpose of studying, as defined by Migration Act 1958.

UNDERGRADUATEAn undergraduate student is one who is studying their first degree – known as a bachelor degree. Once you’ve been awarded your bachelor degree, you become a graduate.

UNITA unit, also known as a subject or module, is a discrete component of study within a course. It is worth a fixed number of credit points – usually 10 credit points – and full-time students typically study 4 units per session. A unit generally requires 10-15 hours of study per week, including class time.

WAMA weighted average mark (WAM) is a measure of a student's overall academic performance and is based on the average of their percentage marks for each attempted unit of study. The WAM is out of 100.
