Course structure
Part of what makes Macquarie future-focused is that we allow you the freedom to explore your interests across a range of areas, rather than lock you in to a single, narrow field. So follow your passions and tailor your course to your needs and interests.
Course requirements
A course may be comprised of up to three zones: Foundation, Core and Flexible. Not all courses require zones. View our university terms page to better understand other common study terms.
