As well as being well endowed with spacious gardens, excellent sporting facilities and well equipped teaching spaces, Macquarie University is co-located with a vibrant industry hub of leading companies such as Hyundai, Honeywell, Optus, Philips, Canon and Microsoft. These all collaborate with University programs to provide innovative work and research experiences that effectively focus and equip students for future work environments.
The whole MU experience is most inspirational and dynamic. Students are encouraged in many ways to be adventurous and acquire as wide a range of skills as possible and integrate their learning with community needs. Small group work in high quality spaces undergirds many programs and allows for the development of thinking and communication skills.
Year 11 students were introduced to the vibrancy of MU campus life, the opportunities to follow up interests in independent learning and also to travel to many overseas destinations to complete part of their degree programs.
It was encouraging to hear of the variety of entry pathways and the opportunities for students to learn more of MU in open days and web site exploration.
Student facilities are first rate and the university now has its own railway station to facilitate access.
The presentation raised much interest and many students were given much food for thought concerning what is a most viable option for many.
