PhD and research degrees

Excelling in all areas of research

The Faculty of Science and Engineering is one of Macquarie University’s strongest research faculties.

The Faculty’s research is built on the strengths of its departments and research centres: we sustain a broad range of research activities of excellent national and international standing.

There are strong interdepartmental links between researchers in our different departments and research centres. Our researchers also work collaboratively with researchers at other prominent national and international research institutes and universities.

We excel in all research indicators including publications, internal and external competitive research grants, research contracts, Australian Research Council (ARC) Fellowships, distinguished visitors and postgraduate student numbers.

We know that research activity is important to maintaining high-standard undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and therefore we encourage and support research activities that enhance our educational mission.
