Credits:

Study abroad students are required to take between 9 and 14 Macquarie University credit points per semester. The recommended load is 12 credit points. Most units at Macquarie are valued at either 3 or 4 credit points, which equates approximately between 12 and 16 hours of study, including class attendance, private study, library research, etc. The actual workload can vary from unit to unit and even week to week across the university. For every semester of full-time enrollment, a student can expect to earn a maximum of 16 U.S. credits.

Curriculum:

Participants in the Brockport/Macquarie University-Sydney Program will select (prior to departure) three courses available to study abroad students at Macquarie University-Sydney. All instruction in the Brockport/Macquarie University-Sydney program is by Macquarie University-Sydney faculty.

Participants in the Brockport/Macquarie University-Sydney Program are examined in the same manner (and to the same standard) as their Australian counterparts and classmates. The majority of courses in which they will enroll are examined formally at the end of the semester and in order to be awarded credit, participants must take-and-pass the examination at the end of the study period in question.
