Macquarie University Reviews & Ratings ,Sydney,Australia

Tips: Before coming to Macquarie University, it's helpful to know the structure of the university and the cultural shifts that you'll encounter. Shops usually close at 6 pm and cafes at 2 pm. However, there is a lot of good vegetarian food available. The faculty are supportive and will help us with our assignments. I'm super satisfied with my course and unit learning as they are more practical-based.

Tips: It took some sort of time to adjust to Australia's education system because it's very different from India. We daily had fixed lectures from 7 am to 2 pm. But here you can set your own timetable according to your feasibility and you have to do self-study before attending the workshops of your unit. As an Indian international student, I got 20000 AUD scholarships. I'm very much satisfied with Macquarie University and the course I'm learning.

Make sure whatever your choice of course...

Tips: I found it a bit of a cultural shift coming to Macquarie University. There are a lot of Asians here, and not many Indians. But there are a good number of Indians here, and I've made some good friends. I got a scholarship of 10 Lacs rupees as an Indian student and Indians get a 3 year post study visa after they graduate. I am satisfied with my university however I could have done a dual degree so consider that before applying for any courses.

Tips: Students should know that there is a 10k AUD scholarship per year for South Asian students. Assignments are completely research-based, unlike Indian universities where you have to mug things up. Part-time jobs are a must. You have to be independent. It is not shameful to work.
