Macquarie’s main campus is located in North Ryde, 16km and about 30 minutes north-west of the Sydney CBD (Central Business District). The stunning 126-hectare park-like campus is ideally located in the heart of Australia’s largest high-tech precinct.
The campus sits across the street from the Macquarie Centre which has many cafés, restaurants and takeaway outlets, major retail stores, supermarkets, a cinema complex and an ice-staking rink.
North Ryde is part of the official City of Ryde, which encompasses several adjacent suburbs including Ryde, East Ryde, West Ryde, Gladesville and Macquarie Park.
Despite the majority of its 11,000 population being Australian born (60 percent), the suburb attracts a diverse mix of people including migrants from China, India, Europe and Southeast Asia.
North Ryde might be a major business district, but its riverside location offers numerous outdoor spaces and activities to be enjoyed. The large upscale Macquarie Centre and Top Ryde shopping centres both have cinema complexes and offer mixed retail, department stores, supermarkets and essential services, while the Ryde Aquatic Leisure Centre offers multiple sporting activities.
There is also a local golf course and the North Ryde oval is a popular spot for local sports such as cricket and football.
Whenever you feel like venturing outside of Sydney’s CBD or the suburb of North Ryde, you won’t be short of things to explore in the rest of Sydney.
With year-round sunny weather, cultural diversity, a relaxed lifestyle, efficient transport system, a high level of safety and countless things to see and do, Sydney is one of the leading student cities in the world. You can definitely say that Sydney has something for everyone.
To the east, you’ll find close to 100 postcard-worthy beaches, while to the west, be awed by the breath-taking Blue Mountains. Escape to the famous vineyards of the Hunter Valley, explore pristine national parks, or take a road trip to the Snowy Mountains and overlook the city at the highest mountain range in mainland Australia.
Macquarie is considered one of Australia’s best universities, having been ranked as the 214th best university in the world and the 12th best in Australia in the QS World University Rankings 2021.
Established as a verdant university, it has five faculties:
The Macquarie Graduate School of Management and the University Hospital are also located on the university's main campus.
Despite its relatively young age (established in 1964), Macquarie has developed a strong tradition of innovation and exploration.
Rated 5 stars by QS, the university is recognised for excellence by a range of university ranking systems such as QS and The Times Higher Education Rankings across several academic disciplines. It had three subjects ranked inside the top 50 globally and seven in the top 100 of the 2020 QS World University Rankings by Subject.

In its short time of existence, Macquarie has already established an enviable reputation for research.
Driven by its proud history of discovery, Macquarie’s researchers work across several disciplines from the sciences, business and creative arts to urban and regional planning, addressing some of the most significant challenges that are facing the world today.
The university’s commitment to world-leading research with world-changing impact has been recognised by the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA), which ranked 85 percent of its research as ‘performing at world standard’ or higher in 2018.
Some of the very best universities in the United States, Asia, the United Kingdom and other countries in Europe as well as global conglomerates such as Microsoft, Optus, Google and Johnson & Johnson choose to partner with Macquarie.
The university has over 300 leading companies located on or around its campus. These corporate connections provide opportunities for students to tap into industry networks that gives them an edge in their future careers.
No wonder the university is renowned for producing highly employable graduates. It was ranked in 101-110th globally and 9th in Australia in the QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2020.
Macquarie’s modern, well-equipped North Ryde campus is set on 126 hectares of peaceful parkland with open green space that facilitates innovative thinking.
The campus was designed around the latest innovations in learning and teaching technology and features world-class state-of-the-art facilities including Australia’s most technologically advanced private hospital on a university campus, and a library that even has a robotic book storage system.
So, as a student at the university, you will have access to a friendly learning environment as well as plenty of networking opportunities with like-minded professionals.
Macquarie brings together over 40,000 students and 2,000 staff from over 100 different countries around the world.
The institution is not afraid to do things differently. It is proud to offer students a diverse campus with a strong focus on diversity and inclusion.
It has earned its reputation as 'Australia's most radical and unconventional university' by challenging conventions and opening its doors to students from various, culturally diverse, background.
Like in any university, uni life at Macquarie is much more than just studying. The university offers a range of amenities, activities and programs outside of the classroom that provides plenty of opportunities for students to get more out of their university experience.
Macquarie provides pretty much everything a student needs to get through the day. So, if you need something, chances are you can get it on campus.
In addition to an extensive library, bookshops and computer facilities, the campus is also well equipped with cafes, eateries and recreational facilities, several museums, an acclaimed sculpture park, a state-of-the-art sport and aquatic centre, medical clinic, pharmacy, private hospital, two hotels and even its own train station.
For all things social on-campus, Student HQ is the place to be. You can join one of over 100 campus student groups, volunteer, or be a part of the student publication team, as well as participate in various events.
There is also a bar on campus where you can go to catch up with your peers.
If you are into sports or worried about putting on a few extra pounds during your time at uni, the university’s sports facilities are some of the best in the country.
Macquarie University Sport and Aquatic Centre is a multipurpose facility designed to meet students' health, fitness and sporting needs. It is equipped with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, squash and basketball courts and a martial arts area. It also features a state-of-the-art health club, group fitness classes and social sport sessions and competitions.
Formally established in 1964 by the New South Wales Government, Macquarie was the third university to be formed in the metropolitan area of Sydney.
The university first opened to students in 1967 and expanded rapidly during the seventies and eighties in courses offered, student population and campus development.
The university established the third law school in Sydney (Macquarie Law School) in 1972 before absorbing The Institute of Early Childhood Studies of the Sydney College of Advanced Education in 1990.
Macquarie became the first Fair Trade accredited university in Australia in 2009. A year later it also became the first university in Australia to own and operate a private medical facility when it opened Macquarie University Hospital. The $300-million hospital is the first and only private not-for-profit teaching hospital on an Australian university campus.
