Macquarie University is on track to becoming one of Australia's leading research universities.
Macquarie is currently ranked 9th in Australia.
Macquarie has maintained a strong reputation in various research and teaching areas, including business, actuarial studies, climate risk, biomolecular science, photonics, wireless engineering and various human sciences including chiropractic and cognitive science. The University has the largest student mobility scheme in Australia.
The university is investing heavily in research, learning and teaching, new buildings, new teaching facilities and in developing mutually beneficial relationships with industry.
Macquarie University's linguistics department developed the Macquarie Dictionary, the copyright on which it still owns.
The university houses a state-of-the-art library, a hospital with associated research facilities, and plans are underway for a new research complex. Old buildings are being refurbished and there is an exceptional swimming and sports complex recently opened.
In addition to the above developments, a new train station is being built on campus for boosting Macquarie's transport connections.
