Macquarie University, Psychology/law
Reviewed on Apr 22, 2019

Early entry scheme allowed me to not worry about exams and secure a position and it has a good reputation. It's kind of close by compared to others. The public transport is pretty good. It also has a nice campus.

Course Curriculum

8

It's good. I like that I get to choose electives however, I'm stressed that law overrides psychology. Next semester I will be required to do 3 law units and 1 psyc which is annoying because I want it to be even.

Exams

HSC. I did not undertake any university level exam only the HSC which I received a score of 88.15 out of a possible 100.

Placement

8

Really good. It's in the business center so there are many opportunities and I've only heard good things about it.

Internship

Yes, it does. I haven't participated yet as I'm in my first semester.

Events

8

Lots. Almost every social holiday + other things like women?s week or harmony day etc.

Fees

Most units range from 300 to 600 dollars. All up the 6-year course is like 60000 bucks. Pretty shocking compared to other courses and the fact that I'm unsure what I want to do with the degree makes the cost unjustifiable. Amenity feed is over 100 dollars just for random stuff.

Scholarship

Not through uni. A local bank got in touch to give a small scholarship. It's not to cover the whole course but rather to help out with the transition to uni was 5000 dollars.

Examination Structure

It depends on the units. Most have only an end of unit exam.

Faculty

6

Love the faculty of human sciences. It is welcoming and chilled out not too full on. Law is the opposite it's quite full on, to say the least.

Hostel

7

Off-campus accommodation living at home still. It's great. Might live a little far away but I love the break between uni and home. I love being surrounded by everything I need at home in a familiar setting.
