Hello, former international student in MQ here, I came to MQ in the end of 2018 and half of the campus were construction sites. I was so excited to see what the campus would looks like when it's done, unfortunately at the end of 2019 I made the fatal decision to go back to my country for spring festival and visit my family for a couple of weeks, then the covid happend and Australia closed its border to us. In the end I had to finish my courses online in my home country, your video really filled me in of what the campus has evolved into, thank you, I wish one day I can revisit MQ like you did.
I’m sorry you got stuck. It wasn’t fair for us to not let international students return to continue their studies but I guess it was a hard time everywhere. I hope you make it back one day!
Omg, you posted an update video! I remember commenting on your uts or old macq video on where I should go after high school. Im now a first year at macq uni doing B.IT and this video comes on up on my recommendations.
Welcome back! That's great to hear :) Yeah, I'm getting around to visit different universities again - I've got updates coming on the Brisbane universities. I'll also have my first videos ready soon on Wollongong and Charles Sturt Uni :)
Your reviews are amazing for international students . Thank you for your efforts to show things in detail. I’m confused between Griffith Gold Coast vs Mt gravatt campus for psychology program. I am looking at helpful faculty placement opportunities and access to airport .
Hi Rob, it looks like out of all the universities I've seen ( especially in your channel ) MQ's the one that have been appealing 2 me the most. What about their teaching methods? Are they more theoretical like most universities or are they more hands on and practical? What about part time jobs as students? I've researched quite a lot but I still would love your unbiased take on this, especially since you're also an alumni. Thanks a lot beforehand!
Depends on the discipline, of course, but MQ used to have the title of “Australia’s Innovative Univeristy”, before “innovation” became cool. Uni has always been more practical and closely linked tonindustry and research.
Hey, It was really great of you to bring this video, love it! I just have a quick doubt, how do you see Macquarie ranked for Business analytics? among other Australian University.. or you have better options for Business Analytics.
MQ's business school is well reputed. I'm not sure about analytics specifically but the program is strong there in general. I don't know if I'd recommend "better" options because that's based on many things (like what you want out of your overall uni experience), but MQ is a good uni for many things :)
@albert I am applying for the same course too. I have the same question to ask to Rob, according the QS rankings, Macquarie is in top 70 schools of the for Business Analytics. Let me know which school have decided to join.
Hey I love your videos Just have a question when you mean applied finace is really good do you mean the batchlors of applied finace or the masters Also good you do a video on all the commerce degrees in Australia and how to choose them
The Master of Applied Finance is the specific program that ranks ridiculously highly BUT applied finance at MQ is excellent, including at Bachelor level. That's been the case for nearly 20 years so there are very strong foundations.
Your videos are really helpful, thank you! I'm planning to join a master's degree this year. Which one would you say offer quality education program between Wollongong, Macquarie, UQ, and Griffith (Mt Gravatt)?
Hi Rob, I've read in a few articles that Macquarie has the worst student to staff ratio in Australia quoting Times Higher Education data. How accurate do you think that information is? Has there been issue with academic staffing in the past? Thank you
Yes, I just read this in a different publication a week ago - here’s the article: campusmorningmail.com.au/news/macquarie-u-finances-a-lack-of-cash-and-reliance-on-debt/ This is a concern to me, although I would say that it would depend very much which course you are taking. Some would have better ratios than others. Definitely something worth considering as high student staff ratios are often linked with lower student satisafaction.
@@ChoosingYourUni Hi, would this ratio affect the overall employability of a person after they've graduated in that degree from an employer's pov? The lack of teachers won't really affect me because I'm a self learner.
@yonaxl I attend MQ and the student to staff ratio is pretty bad. That being said, I've generally been happy with the quality of teaching. The student to staff ratio is really evident when it comes to classes filling up quickly and staff not having the resources to open up more classes. MQ definitely needs to work on the issue because the biggest consequence has been a reduction in elective units of study and even cutting out full programs of study. @Tanish Jain it would definitely not affect employability from the employer's POV, it's more of an issue in terms of student experience and, depending on which degree you are doing, may affect you more or less.
Two good programs, though if it were me I’d be choosing UTS for that program (I’ve heard awesome stuff about their AI and cybersecurity programs). Love MQ as a uni though.
Engineering is relatively new at Macquarie (maybe 10 years off the top of my head?) but management has been a strength of the university for a long time.
The law programs are probably more "prestigious" at unis like USyd and UNSW. However, at Masters level a lot comes down to what specialisation you're doing and what kind of industry connections you can make during the program. That's probably a bit too detailed for my level of knowledge and in the end, if MQ offers specialisations that really interest you, you should consider that more highly than "prestige" imo
Hey Rob, I am planning to study masters of business analytics, can you suggest which university is better either UniSA or Macquarie, please need your suggestion mate 🙌🏼
Ohhhh that’s actually a really tough call. Both have really strong grad business programs. UniSA is dual accredited EQUIS and AACSB. There are not very many business schools that have that and it has some really cutting edge disciplines. MQ has an excellent business school and is world class in areas like applied finance. Analytics is good too. Adelaide and Sydney are really different in terms of cities, so that might be something to think about. Adelaide has a lower cost of living and is less intense. Sydney is incredible but MUCH busier and more expensive. Lots to think about but two great academic programs at least!
Macquarie always had a good maths and physics set up back when I was there a long time ago. I think the question is what are you hoping to do with it later? Macquarie has strengths in some applied areas, like physics or even in things like actuarial, statistics etc, but I'm not sure about pure theoretical maths. I had friends go to both UNSW and Sydney that had good experiences for pure theoretical, so I guess it depends if you're looking at theoretical or applied.
It might not be as famous as the Sydney or UNSW programs, but the course is good and the uni has lots of extracurricular options, like the Global Leadership Program and plenty of clubs. Law is very much about getting involved in lots of things: moots, law society, internships etc. If you do those things throughout your degree, you'll end up much better off than someone that goes to a more "prestigious" uni but sits on their arse.
Hey Rob I have a question for you. I have gotten an offer for Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Information Technology. Do you think Macquarie is good in both these areas?

@@ChoosingYourUni thats great! I noticed the rebranding of your channel, looking really good so props to you.
Thanks mate. It’s what people were most excited about… and so was I! Following the passion!
Appreciate your videos..this is one of my three options for a Data Science postgraduate, hope it's good!
Yeah a good option, amongst others
about to do my hsc but i got an early entry offer for info tech at mq, cant wait to come here after seeing this video!
Awesome. Congrats on the early offer - def takes some pressure off for the exams. Good luck with those 👍
Far out! It’s a totally different uni. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Rob.
Hope you're well Steph - great memories of the days working at MQ, eh?
@@ChoosingYourUni the best! We were so lucky.
💯
Hello, thank you so much for posting such amazing videos. I am confused choosing between MBA program at MQ and UQ. Your help is highly appreciated .
What’s your confusion about?
Your reviews are amazing for international students . Thank you for your efforts to show things in detail. I’m confused between Griffith Gold Coast vs Mt gravatt campus for psychology program. I am looking at helpful faculty placement opportunities and access to airport .
Sorry I missed your response on other video . You already said Gold Coast campus is better
That’s definitely my preference
@@ChoosingYourUni What did you study at MQ rob ?
Hello, I like your videos! Would you anytime do a video for University of Wollongong?
It’s partly done. Just need another trip down there to finish it off 👍
@@ChoosingYourUni wow!! looking forward to your new clip!
Thanks for your video, I have just received a conditional offer from MQ. No double, it must be my only choice .
Maybe, but if you think there’s been a mistake you should check with the admissions team to make sure it’s correct.
Can you do a video of western Sydney's new campus in Parramatta?
Do you mean the Parramatta City campus? Yes, eventually.

Yeah I recently saw that stat about business analytics.
These are all excellent institutions in their own ways.
Hey I love your videos
Just have a question when you mean applied finace is really good do you mean the batchlors of applied finace or the masters
Also good you do a video on all the commerce degrees in Australia and how to choose them
The Master of Applied Finance is the specific program that ranks ridiculously highly BUT applied finance at MQ is excellent, including at Bachelor level. That's been the case for nearly 20 years so there are very strong foundations.
Master degree of applied finance is 1.5years and also offer a off campus study in MQ ,very high rank in the world
Could you pls do a recent review of flinders university Adelaide
Next time I'm in Adelaide!
Your videos are really helpful, thank you! I'm planning to join a master's degree this year. Which one would you say offer quality education program between Wollongong, Macquarie, UQ, and Griffith (Mt Gravatt)?
Glad to help - all good programs. In order (for my preferences, so take this with a grain of salt), UQ, MQ, Wollongong, Mt Gravatt.

Sorry, just seen these comments.
Staff student ratio will mean nothing to employers. It’s your results, other skills and EQ that counts there.
Great comment and contribution.
How is Masters of IT in AI at MQ Uni? Im choosing it over masters of data science and innovation at UTS, please do tell me your views on this.
Two good programs, though if it were me I’d be choosing UTS for that program (I’ve heard awesome stuff about their AI and cybersecurity programs). Love MQ as a uni though.
@@ChoosingYourUni aah thanks a lot for your suggestion
What are your thoughts of studying media and communications in MacQuarie ?
Good program 👍
@@ChoosingYourUnicheers ! thank you :)
I am pretty happy with my choice of uni for 2023 then 👍
Yep, great choice!
I'll do master in Management there this year, any suggestion?
Good program. Well regarded.
Are you planning on doing a video on University of Wollongong? :)
Yep!
MQ now ranks 10 in Australia and 130 globally.
Great uni!
What about Master's in Engineering Management course in Macquarie University ? Will it be a good choice?
Engineering is relatively new at Macquarie (maybe 10 years off the top of my head?) but management has been a strength of the university for a long time.
Hi there, have you heard anything about the chiropractic program at Macquarie? Is it any good?
MQs chiro program has been renowned as one of the best in Australia for 25 years. Definitely a good option 👍

Hey Celine here !!
Can I know how the course masters in biotechnology here is
Biotech is good at MQ..
What’s your opinion on law here?
It might not be as famous as the Sydney or UNSW programs, but the course is good and the uni has lots of extracurricular options, like the Global Leadership Program and plenty of clubs. Law is very much about getting involved in lots of things: moots, law society, internships etc. If you do those things throughout your degree, you'll end up much better off than someone that goes to a more "prestigious" uni but sits on their arse.
Which is the best uni according to you in sydney
Need much more info: for what discipline, and what else is important to you outside of studying?
@@ChoosingYourUni like uni location, standard of education teacher behaviour etc basically i got offer letter from Macquarie for cybersecurity.
The MQ program is good from what I know.
@@ChoosingYourUni Macquarie vs uts in academic and technology what are your view which is better
Hey Rob I have a question for you. I have gotten an offer for Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Information Technology. Do you think Macquarie is good in both these areas?
Both safe options at MQ 👍
@@ChoosingYourUni do you think the teaching is good at MQ?
Yep 👍
Is there a Architecture program at MQ?
I don't believe so.
can I please know which university is best for PUBLIC HEALTH with minimum fees structure ?
I can’t answer that. I don’t do any analysis of that.
Which one u have choosen?
How are exams in mcq
Like exams everywhere: they suck! 😂
(Is there something specific that you want to know?)
@@ChoosingYourUni are they easy to write .i just want a degree that's it
I don’t recognise any of it. Place looks amazing though.
Right Ernie? Hasn't it changed since we were there mate!
is the masters of international business worth it from Macquarie Uni?
Good program. Long track record and good international and leadership options as part of it
Master of management from India I'm joining
Good for you!
MQ Uni is the best!!! :)
