The campus boasts a range of outstanding research centres including the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF), the Macquarie Graduate School of Management (MGSM), the new Macquarie University Hospital and Australian Schoolof Advanced Medicine, and the soon-to-be-completed Cochlear global headquarters and Macquarie University Library.
Macquarie University is actively engaged with industry in the nearby high-tech corridor, and is working to attract even more industry to the campus as participants in higher education.
The university’s expertise spans its four faculties, and the full spectrum of research endeavours.
Faculty of the Arts
