Required Exams for Admission
I chose this university because they are strong in the accounting major and have good graduate full-time employment rates.? I have gained a lot from my university, not knowledge from all the lectures but friendships from times I spent days and nights in the library, gaining good relationships and acquaintances that later on were helpful when I joined the workforce. If I could choose again, I would still go to Macquarie University.
Course Curriculum
The course curriculum was highly theoretical during my year. But the faculty have updated it recently. I was given a chance to participate in research with a lecturer on the subject of management control systems.
Faculty
I really enjoyed the company tax lecture from Michael.
Campus Life
The main campus’s infrastructure was well-equipped. There is a library with computers, printers, reading areas and self-study areas. WiFi is free for all students. There is also a sports field and a swimming pool.
Placement
There was no placement arranged for accounting students, so you have to find the job yourself. However, you can ask some professors if they can be your references or if they need assistants.
Accommodation
There were school campus accommodations, but they were limited and very hard to get into. It was also expensive. It was generally shared.
