Olivia Wilson, UK, Bachelor of Marine Science, Macquarie University Sydney Australia

“I’ve been really impressed with most of the lecturers.  They are genuinely passionate about what they do – it’s great because that comes across (in their classes).  A lot of people see university as something that you have to ‘get through’, but I like my life here, it’s actually enjoyable. My friends (in the UK) are really jealous, they think it’s really cool.”

Beyond the classroom
At Macquarie, you also have the opportunity to learn outside the classroom: with the opportunity to study overseas on exchange; engage with industry leaders and mentors as part of the Macquarie Global Leadership Program; gain industry experience through internships; or even expand your horizons by volunteering.

Global Leadership Program (GLP)
One extra-curricular program that will make a notable difference to students’ career prospects is the Global Leadership Program (GLP). As part of Macquarie's commitment to internationalisation and innovation, the GLP allows students from any discipline to enhance their Macquarie degree and develop their leadership potential, especially in cross-cultural contexts. Students fulfill the requirements of the program by participating in a range of events and activities with an international focus.

Macquarie Volunteers.
As a Macquarie University student you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution by volunteering both in Australia and abroad. You will gain new perspectives and insights about the people and communities you work with and about yourself, will put in practice your skills in the non-for-profit sector, be involved in social or conservation issues or help a charity in raising funds or/and building awareness of the important work they do. Volunteering is an inspiring and motivating experience that will change you for life.
