Help [ The Big List of MQ Links ]

60 Upvotes

MQ links live here, as the MQ website can be an overwhelming maze. Its purpose is to provide you an easy, and more direct place to find links to common topics that may be relevant to you during your time at MQ.

This list will change over time, and I'll endeavour to keep it updated when time allows.

If there is a topic that you believe is missing, or if a link is outdated, please DM me. It may take me some time to update it, and I thank you for your patience.

If you need to find something urgently and it is not on this list, the internet is your friend. Search "[keyword] mq" and it is usually your first result. For example, search "transcript mq" if you want more information about transcripts.

The list focuses on topics that a student may encounter in their academic life cycle, such as forms, applications and policies. It will be separate from other posts already found in this subreddit that focus on social events, campus life, and student groups.

Social Macquarie University Weekly Societies & Meetups Advertising Post

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the 'Macquarie University Weekly Societies & Meetups Advertising Post' (or the M.U.W.S.M.A.P for short)
___

Here students and societies alike can arrange or outline their intended events, gatherings and meetups for the week to come!

We politely ask that any societies (or people on behalf of societies) limit themselves to one advertising comment per week as to not bury posts by individuals (editing existing comments are allowed). And that individuals advertising their own event (be them just meeting up on campus or something more elaborate), make sure to keep their suggested meetups appropriate and vaguely in-keeping with Uni guidelines (IE: no organising drug deals which I have already had to previously remove).

I hope people and societies alike are able to make the most of these posts, and I wish you all luck in meeting your fellow students!

{Note: This is purely an advertising post, r/MacUni and its modteam cannot assure the validity or outcome of any posts/comments made on our subreddit, it is up to the individual to use their best judgement to discern the expectations of any advertised events/encounters.}

Coursework ACCG2051 - Exam query + week 12 tutorial question

5 Upvotes

I'm a business student with accg2051 as a mandatory unit. I've never studied law before and I'm definitely struggling quite a bit esp with exam prep where I have to memorise the section numbers.

I was wondering if anyone took this unit last sem?

Someone mentioned to check the exam practice questions he gives you but the lecturer hasn't given us any.

Maybe I'm not able to access it? Is anyone else having the same problem?

Ive also attended all tutorials EXCEPT the week 12 one because I had a presentation due the same day. And now I'm wondering if he might've just given the practice questions out in that tutorial. Can anyone who's taken the course this sem confirm? Or am I being paranoid

Anyways was just looking for advice on how to ace the exam. I've been practicing alot but was curious to know if anyone had any tips

Cheers

General Question Jobs after degree from Macquarie University

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have an international student scholarship offer from Macquarie University for a research master's in physics. I want to know how a degree from Macquarie University is considered in the Australian job market, and if I want to pursue a PhD at a GO8 university, is the degree still valuable? As an international student, I find the competition really tough, so I am asking for your perspective.

Thank you

General Question Professor using AI generated Script and Slides(?)

16 Upvotes

I've been going through some of my lecture recordings and slides for exam revision, and I'm starting to suspect that some of the teaching material may have been generated or heavily assisted by ChatGPT.

I've used a lot of ChatGPT myself, and the wording, sentence structures, repeated contrasts, and way the material is organised seems suspicious.

Take a look at the transcript and the Why column in the slide.
Anyone else had a similar experience at Macquarie?

General Question Anyone joining Macquarie University in Feb 2027? 👀

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm an Indian student and I've recently received an offer letter from Macquarie University for a Bachelor of Information Technology, majoring in Cyber Security, for the February 2027 intake!

I'm pretty excited about it and wanted to ask current students or alumni if they have any tips or advice about the university, student life, accommodation, or anything I should know before joining.

Also, is anyone else planning to join Macquarie in Feb 2027? Would love to connect and make some friends before arriving in Australia!

And if there are any fellow Indians studying at Macquarie or joining in the same intake, I'd love to hear from you guys too!

Feel free to comment or DM me. Would be great to get to know some people beforehand :)

Cheers!

Coursework Are flexible zone units included in a 160 credit point guaranteed progression to a Master of Intelligence from a Bachelor of Security Studies?

4 Upvotes

Google is annoying and have said that it is kinda included and also not included. This is in context to my WAM being above the 70 requirement with my flexible zone units. I think my WAM is still over 70 not including flexible zone units but I am trying to wrap my head around it. Thanks yall! Any info on this is super helpful, it also doesn't help that I am the last cohort doing this vertical degree so its kinda made info on these things really hard to come by so much so that service connect is as confused as me 🥲

General Question Seeking advice on Macquarie university

3 Upvotes

I want to know about Macquarie University for an MBA and wanted to get some honest feedback from the community.

  1. How is the overall reputation and quality of the university, especially for business studies?

  2. What is the actual placement rate for MBA graduates?

  3. How effective is the career services department in helping students secure roles after graduation?

If you are an alum or a current student, I would love to hear about your experience with the program and the industry connections the university provides.

Rant/Vent I am running out of time

49 Upvotes

This is my last semester. After this there is nothing for me in the world.

I wasted my last four years just doing nothing of value and now i have no time before the inevitable. Im nearly 22 and i will have to get a full time job that i will probably hate and then i will be stuck like a prisoner for the rest of my life.

I should’ve done more.

I should’ve made more friends.

I should’ve been better.

After university my life is basically over. I’m not joking I genuinely have nothing after this.

I don’t know what to do. I think i need help.

Degree Question arts1000 session 3

3 Upvotes

Hi, I will be taking arts1000 in summer as it is a core unit for my degree.

I enrolled, but i couldnt do class registration? Is this bc the unit is online?

Also, is it true that it is only 6 weeks long in session 3 and that it has only prerecorded lectures and online tutorials via zoom?

Thanks from now!!

Working or studying in STEM? I'm running a short anonymous survey on how different minds capture ideas, keep track of complex work, and take in information.
It's for anyone in STEM (software, data, engineering, maths, science, design), neurodivergent or not. Neurotypical answers matter just as much, because they're the baseline everything gets compared against.
Fully anonymous: no names, no emails, no sign-in
About 10 minutes, and every question is skippable
18+ only
I'll share what I find once the responses are in. If you know someone in STEM who'd have thoughts on this, please pass it on.

I’m an international student and I already got my CoE and everything but not my visa yet. The visa isn’t guaranteed because my country is a tier 3 country right now 😭 but regardless my friend from Monash already registered for her classes. That being said, when does enrollment into classes start? and if so should I enroll even though my Visa situation is still up in the air? Would appreciate any help, I do not know how to do anything. 🙏🏼

General Question Living south of the river?

3 Upvotes

Never been to Sydney before, I’m an international student starting graduate research at Macquarie in January. I’d really like to live somewhere with a busy city centre vibe, with nice night life in walking distance, so I was thinking I’d look for share houses south of the river. Would it be really inconvenient to commute from the south of the river to Macquarie uni every day, and is it fairly normal for Macquarie students to live down there?

Hi everyone, I may end up on monitored enrolment next semester. If this is the case is there any other punishments besides what’s on the website? I would be academic caution in sem 2(?) and I would have a secondary teaching placement so would that affect the placement?

Help Revoking Unconditional Offers?

Is it possible for universities to revoke early entry offers that are unconditional because of a low atar?

I got admission into law through leaders and achievers (already accepted) and ik my atar is going to be way lower than the threshold for general entry. If they see that my atar is low, would they revoke my offer?
