The Croatian Studies major provides a sound knowledge of the Croatian language and culture through: intensive language teaching a critical analysis of Croatian literature, history and culture. Macquarie was the first tertiary institution in Australia, and one of the first in the world, where Croatian language, literature and culture enjoyed full academic and cultural autonomy.

Macquarie University houses the Croatian Studies Centre, established in 1994. The Republic of Croatia's Ministry for Science, Education and Sport has been supporting the study of Croatian at Macquarie since 1998.
