Study Abroad in Australia at Macquarie University
The UM-Macquarie Partnership Program is a study abroad option offered to all students. Students on the program take all of their courses at Macquarie University, known as Australia's "Innovative University", due to its flexible learning programs and unparalleled student support services.
The UM-Macquarie partnership program is open to all students. Students can enroll in the Macquarie program for the full year, or they can choose to study for the Fall or Spring semester.
Australia is known around the world as a country of unsurpassed natural beauty and strong cultural identity. Macquarie University is located 20 minutes from Sydney in New South Wales. The most famous city in Australia, Sydney offers a cosmopolitan city center, vibrant cultural activities, sparkling beaches and dramatic national parks. Much like Sydney itself, Macquarie is a truly international campus, as students from all over the world travel to Australia to study on its beautiful 135-acre campus.

Direct Enrollment and Program Provider Options
If you would like to enroll directly at an institution in Australia, you must make an appointment with Pernille Levine in the Study Abroad Office.
If you would like to study abroad at an institution where UM or TEAN do not currently offer a program, then you are welcome to direct enroll in that institution. You may also want to study at that institution through a third party program provider.
