"Macquarie has provided me with many opportunities to get involved with real businesses. I’ve learned that companies are seeking three main things: well-rounded individuals who have experience in leadership positions, who’ve undertaken professional experience in their field, and who’ve mastered the technical skills taught in the classroom. Macquarie has equipped me with all three."
"Macquarie University gives you the skills to work in a multinational, diverse, global organisation. The large diversity of students and professors you will interact with will help you learn how to bring out the best in your colleagues, and leverage that to make the right decisions for your company and for your career."
"After finishing high school, I didn't quite achieve the marks I needed to get into the degree I wanted to, so I undertook one of Macquarie's diplomas. The diploma was fantastic preparation for my bachelor degree as it gave me the skills and confidence I needed to succeed."
