Studying at Macquarie University gives you the opportunity to experience life in Sydney: named the “World’s Best City” eight times by Travel + Leisure magazine.
In addition to enjoying all the excitement a large, cosmopolitan city has to offer, Sydney offers the ideal environment in which to study. The city is scenic, with a mild, temperate climate. Traffic is light at most times, and the public transport system is quite good.
Surrounded by quiet residential communities and Australia’s premier high-technology precinct, Macquarie University is located approximately 30 minutes drive northwest of the harbour and central business district. Its unique location gives you the space and quiet to study, and the reassurance that the shopping and nightlife of the city is just a short distance away when you need to reward yourself!
Also known as the Harbour City, Sydney is home to Australia’s best shopping, restaurants, entertainment and sporting venues. If you prefer the great outdoors, the city has more than 70 beaches along its eastern coastline, the scenic Blue Mountains to the west, and national parks to the north and south. It is also a short drive away from the vineyards of the Hunter Valley and the adrenaline-charged slopes of the Snowy Mountains.
If food is your passion, make sure you pick up a copy of the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide which contains reviews of Sydney’s top restaurants. Or take your pick of Sydney’s many cafes, bars and small restaurants, serving up food from around the globe: Indian, Thai, Italian, Greek, Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Spanish among many others.
