What our students say

Macquarie has prepared me extremely well for my chosen career, which is to become a secondary teacher of Japanese and English. The education department specifically tailors classes to the needs of students, and they also provide advice about which teaching associations to join and information about networking opportunities.One of the highlights of my course was studying in Japan, where I had to combine my skills in teaching, English and Japanese in an unfamiliar context. Using those skills in an authentic situation was the best practice I could have had.
