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
