舒華沙於效力英格蘭東北的前英超球會米杜士堡成名，

舒華沙在2010年為澳洲效力期間

舒華沙在1993年於愛民頓舉行的的1994年世界盃淘汰賽對陣加拿大的比賽中首次為澳洲上陣。他因為正選門將羅拔·沙比卡在開賽17分鐘被紅牌罰下而以替補身份入替米蘭·巴高積域。[10] 在第二回合主場悉尼，他在互射十二碼階段在救出兩個關鍵十二碼，協助澳洲晉身最後一輪對陣阿根廷的淘汰賽。[11] 舒華沙並沒有在這兩場比賽中上陣，最終澳洲以總比分1:2不敵阿根廷。[12]

他2006年世界盃足球賽也代表澳洲出戰外圍賽，在淘汰賽對陣烏拉圭。[13] 烏拉圭在蒙特維多主場1:0勝出後，澳洲在2005年11月16日悉尼主場1:0回敬對手。[13] 在十二碼階段，舒華沙救出對方兩個十二碼協助澳洲4:2勝出。[13]

在世界盃決賽周，他為澳洲在小組賽中上陣頭兩場比賽，conceding a controversial goal against 日本，[14] and two goals against Brazil.[15] In the third match, he was replaced by Željko Kalac, but after Kalac's disappointing performance,[16] he was reinstated for the Round of 16 match against Italy.[17] Although he correctly predicted the direction of the penalty kick, he was unable to save the penalty in that match, which was scored by Francesco Totti in injury time and sent Australia out of the World Cup.[17]

Schwarzer played in all of Australia's matches in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.[18] Although he made two good saves in the opening match against Oman, which finished as a 1–1 draw,[19] he made an error which led to a goal in the 3–1 loss to Iraq.[20] In the quarter-final, he could not match Japanese goalkeeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi during the penalty shootout, which saw the Socceroos get knocked out of the competition in their début at the tournament.[21] Schwarzer said that the penalty shootout in the Asian Cup quarter-finals was the first penalty shoot-out in his career that he had ever lost.[21]

舒華沙在89分鐘時的十二碼罰球中擋下了中國邵佳一的球，in Australia's 0–0 draw in the 2010 World Cup qualifier in March 2008, continuing his record of stopping penalty kicks.[22] He received his second yellow card of the campaign against Qatar in Doha, in which Australia were 3–1 winners, leading to him being suspended for the following match against China.[23]

Schwarzer made several vital saves to secure Australia's Asian Cup Qualifier 2–1 comeback win over Oman in Muscat after conceding from his penalty save rebound.[24]

He was the country's first-choice keeper for all three matches of the Group Stage in the 2010 World Cup in a group composed of Australia, Germany, Ghana, and Serbia.[25] In the first match, Australia were crushed 4–0 by the Germans, but they recovered with a 1–1 draw against Ghana in the next game.[25] In the final match, Australia beat Serbia 2–1, thus finishing third in the group with four points, just missing out on qualification to the Round of 16 on goal difference with Ghana.[25]

後來，舒華沙表達了參加2014年世界盃的意願，就算他當時已41歲。[26][27] 然而，在2013年11月5日，他宣佈決定結束國家隊球員生涯。[28]

馬克·施瓦澤的兒子朱利安·施瓦澤（Julian Schwarzer）繼承了其衣缽，走上職業足球道路，而且也司職守門員，唯朱利安在國家隊方面代表菲律賓國家足球隊出戰國際賽[29]。

舒華沙出生於北里奇蒙市，該市位處悉尼西北一個郊外的半郊區，並曾在北里奇蒙市公共學校(Richmond North Public School)卡洛高中(Colo High School)上學。他為當地足球隊高路美洲獅效力。他的德國雙親Hans-Joachim和Doris在1968年從德國移民到澳洲。[40] 他會說德語。[41]

在2009年，舒華沙獲得澳大利亞勳章。[38]
