Entry requirements
Typically for Australian universities in this band, a recognised bachelor's degree with a weighted average around 60-65%; a three-year Indian bachelor's is normally accepted for master's entry, though some professional and research programmes want four years or an honours year. English is usually IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each band, but registration-linked fields such as nursing, teaching and social work commonly ask for 7.0 or higher. This is general guidance for Australia rather than this university's published rule — your Vibedu counsellor confirms the exact bar for your programme, free.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.
Tuition + living cost calculator
Estimate your total cost of study. Pick your programme length: We don't have a source-backed tuition figure for Macquarie University, so this covers living costs only. Pick your programme length:
Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, A$). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in A$, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (31 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from A$ at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
