Future of Macquarie University
As we adapt to this new world, the pioneering spirit of innovation that founded this University more than 50 years ago, continues to guide us today.
This is a dynamic time for Macquarie University amidst such a changing landscape. In these extraordinary times, we enter a world of increasing uncertainty and complexity.
The multilateral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have affected the health and lives of many across the globe. It has altered our daily routines and challenged the way we work, study and live. It has reinforced the need for resilience, focus, agility, and deeper connections.
Our University community has very powerfully shown remarkable and swift innovation during unprecedented times. This adaptability to meet the ever-changing requirements of the communities we serve, gives us the essential grounding for the journey ahead.
Macquarie University Operating Plan 2020-2024 sets out a blueprint for the University that we are building for the future.
This plan has been informed by staff and student insights and prioritises our endeavours around six key focus areas.
At the heart of this work is our collective commitment to students and their success. This distinctive approach prepares our students to excel in a demanding, dynamic, uncertain yet exciting world where employability is a central focus.
Our emphasis remains on far-reaching, transformative, and research-enriched learning experiences, relevant now and into the future.
Macquarie University has redoubled its commitment to continue the conduct to world-changing research. Across all fields, the University excels in discovery based research which can influence the big problems of our world as well as many fields in arts, social sciences and humanities where our scholars consistently enhance our understanding and success of society, culture and individual identity
