Overview

Macquarie University College offers English programs on the Wallumattagal campus in North Ryde. This profile covers the College’s English pathways. The main campus setting gives students access to a university environment while they develop the language and academic skills needed for their next program. Central Courtyard has food outlets and study spaces for group or individual work. The pathway can form part of a packaged offer for a Macquarie degree, foundation or other College program. The most useful starting point is the intended destination course, since that determines the English pathway and the duration recommended by admissions. Macquarie distinguishes General English, which can be taken on its own, from Academic English and the Direct Entry options. The latter are tied to the next course. A student targeting a degree should look at the requirements for degree entry, while a student heading to a College pathway should use the requirements for that pathway.

Courses

The College lists 20 hours of classes per week, with a maximum of 18 students. Classes are assigned at orientation to either 8:30 am–12:45 pm or 1:00–5:15 pm. The timetable may change between blocks. The year is organised into nine five-week blocks. Ask admissions which block and English pathway match your entry level and next course. The College lists General English at levels G3, G4 and G5 over five to 20 weeks. Its Direct Entry preparation for College pathways runs for ten weeks and includes project work.

Fees

Published 2026 tuition is AUD 570 per week, with a one-off AUD 260 enrolment fee. Course materials are included in tuition. For a five-week teaching block, tuition is AUD 2,850 and the study subtotal is AUD 3,110, before any insurance and living costs. The College plans study in five-week blocks, so this is a block subtotal rather than a four-week booking. Housing, flights and transfers need separate quotes. If you receive a packaged offer, confirm the charges and applicable rates for each component.

Accommodation

Homestay

The university’s homestay guide lists a private bedroom, meals and a quiet place to study, with a minimum four-week booking through a recommended provider. Meal schedules, travel time and provider charges should be confirmed for the placement.

Student residences and short stays

The university also lists student residences and short-stay hotels and apartments around North Ryde and neighbouring suburbs. Check whether the housing contract matches the English block dates, particularly if you intend to move into longer-term university accommodation later. Central Courtyard publishes its own residence contract dates and charges, including an annual cleaning fee. Check short-stay availability separately if you only need one teaching block.
