“What I love about Macquarie is that it’s innovative, has modern degrees based on the most recent research and offers opportunities to gain valuable work experience. My degree is so relevant to the world today – it’s preparing me to work with people, both locally and internationally, to help solve some of the major issues our world is facing. I’ve also had the opportunity to be part of a joint research study with the Salvation Army examining the effects of a local project in a public housing estate. It was great to be able to put what I’d learned in my degree into practice – I feel a lot more confident applying for jobs now that I have experience in my field.” Melanie Brading BACHELOR OF SOCIAL SCIENCE 52 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020 53

“Macquarie has provided me with many opportunities to get involved with real businesses. Through these opportunities I’ve learned that companies are seeking three main things: well-rounded individuals who have experience in leadership positions, who’ve undertaken professional experience in their field, and who’ve mastered the technical skills taught in the classroom. By helping me to study overseas on exchange, secure work experience, and pursue my passion for economics and finance, Macquarie has equipped me with all three.” John Veepanat George BACHELOR OF COMMERCE *Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching, 2017 Graduate Outcomes Survey 56 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020 57

“Macquarie has prepared me extremely well for my chosen career, which is to become a secondary teacher of Japanese and English. The education department specifically tailors classes to the needs of students, and they also provide advice about which teaching associations to join and information about networking opportunities, and they connect us with experienced teachers – many of whom attended Macquarie. One of the highlights of my degree was studying in Japan, where I had to combine my skills in teaching, English and Japanese in an unfamiliar context. Using those skills in an authentic situation was the best practice I could have had.”

“A highlight of my time at Macquarie was working with a research group based in Japan. The group is developing a novel lymphatic drug delivery system that involves injecting chemotherapy directly into the lymph nodes to treat and prevent lymphatic metastasis with a more targeted approach. As an undergrad, it was really exciting to be involved with such a project, particularly because it taught me to work and think outside of my engineering specialty. I’m now working as an engineer for Hoslab, a company that specialises in the design, construction and maintenance of medical and laboratory gases.” Lily David BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (HONOURS) IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING *Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching, 2017 Graduate Outcomes Survey 64 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020

Languages and linguistics
Studies in languages and linguistics at Macquarie will prepare you for a range of careers across the globe, such as in business, international affairs, interpreting and translating, journalism or teaching. Studying a language – we offer the widest range of European languages in New South Wales, along with comprehensive Asian language options – will allow you to develop proficiency in that language, as well as an awareness of the societies and cultures that speak that language. Studying in the broad field of linguistics – which is concerned with the nature of language and communication – will increase your knowledge in areas such as child language disorders, cognitive translation studies, how language is processed and stored in the brain, intercultural communication, language acquisition and language sciences.
“I wanted to study a degree that would challenge me and provide me with various career options. I also wanted to learn a language and go on exchange. My degree has allowed for all of this – the highlight being a trip to China through Macquarie’s Global Leadership Program, where I was able to develop my professional and cultural skills and meet officials from the Australian Embassy, the UN and AIIB in China. When I graduate, I want to work in a firm with an international focus or work within international relations specialising in the Australia–Asia relationship.” Luke Gallen BACHELOR OF LAWS AND BACHELOR OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES 72 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020

“Since Year 5 in primary school, I knew I wanted to become a scientist – I was particularly interested in astronomy, astrophysics and geophysics. My career goal is to work out in the field doing geophysical surveying – specifically gravity surveying – and then secure a research and teaching role at a university. Macquarie has prepared me perfectly for my future careers because not only have I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the field practicing different survey techniques, my practical classes have taught me how to apply and reduce the survey data I’ve gathered, giving me a full understanding of how that data can be used.” Rachel Hourigan BACHELOR OF SCIENCE • *Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching, 2017 Graduate Outcomes Survey 92 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020 MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE COURSES 2020 93
