Macquarie University Campus in 2021

With our wide-open green spaces and sprawling Campus, Macquarie University has remained open for most of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, we welcomed new and continuing students back to our campus, which is such an integral part of the experience of students studying with us. You can expect:

• Face-to-face small group learning activities (like tutorials, seminars and laboratories) conducted on-campus in a COVIDSafe environment.
• An online real-time alternative for most small group learning activities will be available for students who do not wish to attend campus.
• The opening of our brand new central courtyard district in the first few months of the year with a vibrant atmosphere and varied food options, innovative teaching and learning spaces and new student accommodation.
• A campus truly prepared for COVIDSafe practices with student COVID Ambassadors helping to assist students while on campus and our teaching spaces optimised for COVIDSafe learning. Our COVID-19 webpage contains the latest information for students to ensure you’re kept up to date.

Macquarie University prides itself on having the best and most vibrant campus in Australia and we are excited to welcome new students and welcome back returning students in 2021.
