Macquarie is a university engaged with the real and often complex problems
and opportunities that define our lives. Since our foundation 54 years ago,
we have aspired to be a different type of university: one unbound by ivory
towers and sandstone walls. Rather, we are focused on fostering
collaboration between students, academics, industry and society,
encouraging all to traverse the boundaries of their own perspective and
affect change.

Over the years, we’ve grown to become the centre of a vibrant local and
global community. A place of constant stimulus and human interaction.
Together, we advance world-class theoretical thinking and translate it into
real-world solutions. We’re connecting people across the most diverse
fields of knowledge to create bold new possibilities: for their careers,
intellectual endeavours, enterprises and the common good. At Macquarie,
people become skilled at switching between specialist and generalist
mindsets; mastering complexity, thinking holistically and helping to create
a better future.

***The Faculty of Science and Engineering
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.

**The Department of Computing
The Department of Computing is the home of close to 40 academic staff and
more than 90 research students, and an ever-growing cohort of undergraduate
and postgraduate coursework students. The department offers a broad range
of cutting edge undergraduate and postgraduate courses and enjoys a strong
research ethos.
