Macquarie is the university of pioneering minds. Globally recognised as 
one of Australia's leading research universities, Macquarie is a place 
where extraordinary new possibilities come to light. We've helped people 
to hear, introduced wireless internet technology to the world and broken 
through traditional boundaries by appointing Australia's first female 
vice-chancellor.

At Macquarie you'll join a vibrant community of diverse perspectives, 
all working towards a brighter future for our communities and our 
planet. Surrounded by beautiful parkland campus, our students and staff 
are free to explore and discover, supported by facilities including a 
high-tech library, private teaching hospital, gym and pools, childcare 
facilities, a campus train station and the newly expanded Macquarie 
Centre shopping complex next door.

In Macquarie's Faculty of Science and Engineering you'll join passionate 
researchers and educators blazing new trails in the spirit of discovery 
and exploration. Encouraged to think boldly, and supported by some of 
Australia's most outstanding facilities, brilliant minds converge in our 
faculty to create incredible new possibilities: the world's first 
attempt to synthesize complex life, the creation of Wi-Fi, the discovery 
of dancing dwarf galaxies, and the development of blue LED light. 
Inspired by challenge and opportunity, we look forward to welcoming you 
as we imagine a new future together.

Join us and start seeing the world in a different light.
