A Macquarie University signature program
Our Global Leadership Program (GLP) is Australia’s flagship international leadership program, continuing Macquarie’s proud track record in innovation.
The GLP connects students who have leadership potential and a sense of global citizenship with internships, volunteer experiences, mentorships, conferences and other opportunities beyond their academic degree. These practical experiences develop students’ cross-cultural and soft skills, preparing them for truly global careers.
Student experience
We have more than 3000 students from across all degrees and disciplines — from undergraduate to PhD level — completing our rigorous co-curricular program. They design their own portfolio of practical, cross-cultural or internationally focused experiences to align with their study area, profession or passion.
GLP students are looking for a diverse range of opportunities to develop their leadership and innovation capacities and international understanding including:
- domestic and international volunteer programs
- fundraising and advocacy roles
- internships
- language courses
- symposia, conferences, events and courses.
GLP opportunities
The GLP is always open to collaborations where we can share and advertise opportunities for students. Our students are self-selecting and passionate to become involved with volunteering and internship roles, community and industry events, seminars, conferences and more as part of the experiential component of this co-curricular and co-designed program.
