Public research university in Sydney, Australia

Macquarie University is a public research university based in Sydney, Australia, in the suburb of Macquarie Park. Founded in 1964 by the New South Wales Government, it was the third university to be established in the metropolitan area of Sydney.[1]

Macquarie has five faculties, as well as the Macquarie University Hospital and the Macquarie Graduate School of Management, which are located on the university's main campus in suburban Sydney. The university is the first in Australia to fully align its degree system with the Bologna Accord, standardizing higher-education.[2]

The initial concept of the campus was to create a new high technology corridor, similar to the area surrounding Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, the goal being to provide for interaction between industry and the new university.[3]

mRNA factory

In May 2024, the NSW Government announced the construction of a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Research and Pilot Manufacturing Facility at Macquarie University’s Wallumattagal Campus, due to be completed in 2026. The government said it is spending $96 million on the factory, with a further $119 million announced over 10 years for RNA research and development initiatives, such as providing "Australian patients with faster access to new and innovative RNA therapeutics to treat diseases such as cancer and rare genetic diseases."[4] At the beginning of construction, protestors visited the site noting that the bulk of the injured from the coerced mRNA Covid jabs have not even been formally recognised let alone compensated.[5]
