Guest speaking and lecturing at Macquarie University can create opportunities for yourself and your industry.

You can be influential in your area of expertise, by sharing your knowledge and workplace experience — a highly valuable insight for students who are looking for real-life context from experts in their field.

It's a chance to further develop your speaking skills and increase your expert status in your field, and an opportunity to connect with some of the brightest student and academic minds.

Our team will connect you with the relevant academics who can assist you in preparing your key points and outline for the event.

We welcome your case studies in narrative form for our students to interpret and discuss.

Providing our students with real-life case studies can:

• help bridge the gap between theoretical and problem-based learning
• serve as a launching pad for class discussion
• give students a practical opportunity to apply their skills and understanding of learned facts to a complex real-world situation.

A single real-life case study may be presented to several groups, with each group offering its solutions, which we can share with you.

To learn more about submitting a case study, contact our corporate engagement team on +61 (2) 9850 1323 or ce@mq.edu.au.

We encourage our external partners to provide us with feedback and advice on our curriculum.

Our external advisory boards can also explore potential opportunities for creating new in-demand courses.
