Student housing is available both on campus and in close proximity to the University. The University's degree program offers students considerable choice in selection of areas of study. A distinctive feature of the degree program is the opportunity to combine subjects and units from a number of disciplines. Macquarie University actively encourages students to study abroad and participate in exchange opportunities through travel scholarships, which are available for this purpose. The University's Careers Service provides advice and assistance to students seeking employment after graduation.
Chiropractors recognise the importance of the body structures and how they affect our health.
They use spinal adjustment, manipulation and other physical means, and the inherent recuperative powers of the body in the restoration and maintenance of health. Keen diagnostic skills will accurately locate abnormal findings which may be the cause of the patient's condition. Chiropractors use a range of diagnostic tools and X-rays where necessary, to confirm their findings. Students learn a wide range of chiropractic diagnostic and manipulative skills against a background of anatomical, physiological and biomedical science studies. Graduates must undertake further postgraduate study, the Master of Chiropractic, to gain a licence to practice.
