Macquarie University (/məˈkwɒri/ mə-KWORR-ee) is a public research university in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1964 by the New South Wales Government, it was the third university to be established in the Sydney metropolitan area.[11]
Established as a verdant university, Macquarie has five faculties, as well as the Macquarie University Hospital and the Macquarie Graduate School of Management, which are on the university's main campus in the suburb of Macquarie Park.
The university is the first in Australia to fully align its degree system with the Bologna Accord.[12][13][14]
