=== Leadership and development ===
The Global Leadership Program (GLP) is a university-funded co-curricular program that is open to all students and can be undertaken alongside any degree at Macquarie University. The GLP aims to instil leadership and innovation skills, cross-cultural understanding and a sense of global citizenship in its graduates. Upon successful completion of the GLP, students receive a formal notation on their academic transcript and a certificate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.international.mq.edu.au/glp/prospective|title=Global Leadership Program – Macquarie University|access-date=17 July 2015|archive-date=12 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120712235932/http://www.international.mq.edu.au/glp/prospective|url-status=live}}</ref>

Macquarie's GLP was the first of its kind when it launched in the Australian university sector in 2005 and is the country's flagship tertiary global leadership program with more than 4000 active participants in more than 200 academic disciplines. GLP is a co-curricular learning and engagement program that students design according to their own interests and complete at their own pace. Students are required to complete a workshop series, attend tailored keynote speaker and networking events and complete an experiential credit component. This ranges from short-term study abroad, volunteering (domestic and/or international), internships (domestic and/or international), learning a new language or attending internationally themed seminars and study tours.

The GLP won the Institute for International Education's 2017 Heiskell award for Innovation in International Education - Internationalising the Campus.<ref>{{cite web |title=Macquarie University Global Leadership Program 2017 Heiskell Award Winner: Internationalizing the Campus |url=https://www.iie.org/Research-and-Insights/Best-Practices-Resource/Award-Winners/Internationalizing-the-Campus/Macquarie-University-2017 |website=iie.org |access-date=8 March 2019 |archive-date=20 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920125520/https://www.iie.org/Research-and-Insights/Best-Practices-Resource/Award-Winners/Internationalizing-the-Campus/Macquarie-University-2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> Macquarie University is the first Southern Hemisphere university to receive the award in its 17-year history.
