Apply directly for our Study Abroad program

Follow our step-by-step guide to apply directly for a semester like no other at Macquarie University.

Complete the online application.
Upload certified copies of your passport, English language proficiency and academic transcripts before the application deadline.
Pay careful attention to the number of units you select in your Study Abroad package. A 3-unit package cannot be changed to a 4-unit package after acceptance, and vice versa. Think carefully about how many units you plan to study at Macquarie before you finalise your application.

If your application is successful – congratulations and welcome to Macquarie! Your offer letter will include instructions on how to accept your offer.

Return your signed offer acceptance with the tuition fees payment receipt and proof of your OSHC.

Once we've received your offer acceptance, we'll issue you with a Confirmation of Enrolment (COE).
Apply for your student visa via the Department of Home Affairs with your COE. Visa applicants should refer to the Document Checklist Tool to find out which documents need to be attached to their visa application and acceptable English language tests to satisfy the visa requirements.

Note: The International Tuition Fee Refund policy will apply to most refunds. If you're applying to Macquarie University through a program provider, contact the program administrators for refund policy information.

Select your Macquarie University units

As a Study Abroad student at Macquarie University, you can enrol in any available unit indicated on our Open Access Units List.

If you wish to enrol in units that have prerequisites (what we call Approval Required Units), you need to apply for a Special Approval (Waiver). You can check the requisites for your units of choice in the Course Handbook.

Make sure your unit selections aren’t on the Closed Units List, which contains all units that are prohibited for Study Abroad and Exchange students.

* See Understanding Units for more information on the above unit types for Study Abroad and Exchange students.

Follow the advice below to ensure a smooth process.

Submit Special Approval requests:
for several units so that you have options in case you do not receive approval for some of them,
as soon as possible and before the commencement of the session.
Make sure your home institution has approved of your choice of units before enrolling.
