Macquarie University

I love it. It feels like a home away from home. There are so many services and activities offered, the facilities are lovely, I’m very pleased. I’m enjoying every minute. It’s almost going by too fast! The staff are highly educated and supportive, they’re approachable and kind. I’m also enjoying my clinical placements, I’ve had some incredible clinical educators that I’ve learned so much from and am so grateful for. I feel like I could talk for days about this!

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.

MQ is a really nice campus, the MD program is a little isolated (closer to the hospital) but that’s okay. It’s in a part of Sydney that doesn’t require you to live deep in the big city which is really nice. Being so close to the mall makes it easy to do all the life things outside of school too (ie. banking, phone plans, grocery shopping – you can do all of that on your lunch or before going home). The MQMD program is fantastic. Being so small it really feels like a little family. The faculty know each of us as individual people and supports us as such. Since it is new there are admin bumps and hiccups – but that happens at every school – and the faculty is really open to feedback.

Love Macquarie University. The campus is beautiful and there is a strong support network available to anyone who needs it. The MD program has been great. With the small class size and great team of staff around us, they give you the tools to succeed, especially in such a stressful program.

I like the small cohort; I feel like you get to know your classmates a lot more closely. I also like the enthusiasm of the instructors. They are enthusiastic and passionate about the content and deliver it in an interesting way.

Program is great but difficult (fast pace). Very nice teaching staff for the most part. The university itself is situated a little far from th 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 !
