Macquarie University

Love the modern feeling of the campus with the beautiful nature surrounding. So many good food options! Don’t love how it is kind of isolated from other things (such as the city, other restaurants/cafes, only other thing in the area is the shopping centre). Really like the instructors, they are all super passionate about physio and are wanting every student to do well in the program and beyond. Dislike the disorganization of information, e.g., it is hard to find info on program requirements, layout of classes, organization of observation hours.

It is so incredible to get into a different environment than home. This university/program is making me very excited to be a physio and I feel it will prepare me very well for when I get there. Make sure you have a really good foundation in anatomy for this program. It is pretty easy to make friends with those in the program. Make sure to plan lots of study session which can then turn into planning social events. Facetime is your best friend with staying in touch, but if not possible than an easy update text to family and friends is still great.

The campus is beautiful and im very happy with my decision. Its a bit outside of the city so the rent isnt too bad here either. The instructors are great and seem like they really want us to succeed

Like their campus, lots of food options and study areas. Don’t like how the campus life is not as alive. Love the clinical hours we get, support we are offered if needed from student services and profs/tutors. I do not like how majority of content is self learn.

The beautiful facilities, my Aussie mates and the welcoming atmosphere at Macquarie uni. The classes are broken into cohorts you follow through the semester with, this is great because you develop strong relationships within your cohort. A prominent online component is followed up with highly practical physiotherapy classes.

Everything is good. Very practical based, which I love.

I like that everything we are learning is practical and we get to start hands on learning right away. Sometimes the scheduling is not very organized, and the marking for exams are not clearly shown. I like that we have lots of opportunity for hands on learning, would like to have more clear guidelines on how assessments are evaluated.

The campus is gorgeous and everyone is so nice and helpful when you need guidance. The teachers are also very professional and want you to learn. I live in Bondi and although the campus is a bit far from Sydney CBD, I enjoy the trek to the university as the landscape is gorgeous and public transportation is good here. I like that we get hands-on experience right at the start of the program. I can only say I wish I learned anatomy more before attending this program because professors here assume you know a lot about it.

It is a beautiful campus with great staff and facilities. The work life balance is great. Only being in class 3x a week gives you lots of time to study and leisure or work as well. However I may have preferred to do a more condensed two year program.

Program is great but difficult (fast pace). Very nice teaching staff for the most part. The university itself is situated a little far from the city which is sometimes inconvenient however everyone really cares about the students here which is really comforting. Also, MD and DPT students have many lectures together and clinical hours together which is really interesting and fun !
