Master of Biotechnology - Batch of 2025
4.1
Once in a lifetime experience.
Tips: It definitely was a bit difficult initially like the way everything was electronically like assignments, lectures and so on, but I received equal help from everyone at every step. This university made sure I was aware about this country and how everything works since most of us were international students who came to Australia for the first time. I received a 10,000 scholarship and every university has some scholarships that they let u know when u receive the confirmation letter. Lack of job opportunities but this country is fabulous.
Likes (Indian Food): There are ample of Indian restaurants, cafes and various small street food corners especially in Indian community localities. They are slightly expensive if u compare them with INR but it's better than nothing. Since I love cooking, I prefer home cooked meals. Only occasionally I visit restaurants.
Dislikes (Value for money): I feel it's slightly expensive compared to other university in different cities. A degree can open doors to better jobs and a potential higher salary, the actual success in securing these opportunities might not be fully realized by the University boards, making this investment feel less certain. If the university would have provided strong career support or direct industry connections, the financial investment may feel fully justified rather than partial.

Tips: Whether you are aiming for permanent residency (PR) or not it is important to select your course accordingly. There was a cultural shift but it helps you grow into a calmer composed and goal-focused individual. I received a scholarship of AUD 20,000 over two years.

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce - Batch of 2025
4.2
If you don't mind walking, studying here will be amazing.
Tips: Honestly, apart from the massive campus and the amount of walking that needs to be done to get from one end to another, it is a great university. Staff are knowledgeable and respectful, services are well thought out and easily accessible. The campus has its own metro station, with great train and bus connectivity. It's also located near the city centre, so getting around is easy. However, it is Sydney so public transport can be unreliable and expensive.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Genuinely just a crowded city, the government is striking down immigration, and I would not recommend settling down in Sydney purely due to the overcrowdedness and its effects on immigrants. That being said, it also does have a massive amount of Indian population in Sydney to stay in touch with others of the same origins or to have a place like home.

Great university with supportive faculty.
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.

The campus is great and the pond with a fountain in the center is a panoramic view.
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.
Likes (Safety): CCTV cameras are installed throughout the campus. Plus the security team patrols the whole university. Till now I didn't have any bad experiences. The nightlife isn't that great in Sydney. Everybody is at home by 7 pm and everything shut off by 9 pm. You can't see anyone after that time. But it's a part of the routine now, so it doesn't matter.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Transportation to Macquarie University is pretty much sorted. It has its own metro station and is a 10-minute walk from the main campus building. Bus connectivity is the same. Overall affordability is average because the transportation fare in Sydney is extremely high compared to Melbourne. No doubt the services are good but it shouldn't be that costly for students.
