Macquarie University

In 2019 they are excited to offer two Co-op programs:

Actuarial students will receive a scholarship of $18,200 p.a. and accounting students will be paid by their partners while they are on each placement. 

These highly competitive courses will see students alternate between classroom studies and placements throughout their four years of study. Students will undertake three placements, totalling 15 months.

Partners supporting the Actuarial Studies Co-op in 2018 are EY, Finity, PwC Australia, NDIA, TAL and Zurich. Partners supporting the 2019 cohort will be advised later in 2018.

Applications are now open for both programs. They encourage students to commence their applications as soon as possible.

Global Leadership Entry Program

Applications are now open.

Applications close Monday 27 August 2018. 

Macquarie's students are global citizens, deeply engaged with the world and the big issues shaping the future of society. Their Global Leadership Entry Program (GLEP) supports and inspires global leaders of tomorrow.

If you’ve already made a head start – kicking goals at school and making a positive change in your community through leadership and service – then apply for GLEP to be eligible for an early offer for your dream course.

They look for students who have made an active and significant contribution to society at large, who show initiative and commitment.
