Bond University

Created in the scholarly traditions of pre-eminent private universities of world standing, Bond University challenges students to be leaders and thinkers; taking them beyond the accepted definition of a university education to develop initiative, enterprise, ambition and a lifelong commitment to making a meaningful contribution to their field.

Bond offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Law, Business, Sustainable Development, Humanities and Social Sciences, Health Sciences and Medicine and Information Technology. All students have access to unparalleled academic and technological resources on Bond’s world-class Gold Coast campus.

Bond’s personalized approach to education combined with its uncompromising focus on industry relevance sets Bond University apart from every other Australian university. Students thrive in smaller study groups where eminent professors and industry-experienced lecturers know them by name.

Students have open access to industry leaders, corporate high-flyers and notable achievers who actively participate in Bond’s guest speaker programs. Students are given the opportunity to study overseas through established partnerships with some of the world’s leading universities and research facilities.

And by undertaking three semesters per year instead of the usual two, students complete their degree studies 12 months or more before their colleagues from other universities, thereby gaining a vital advantage in the ultra-competitive careers market.

This advantage is further driven by graduates themselves. Many within Bond’s close-knit global network of alumni now hold upper echelon management and partnership positions in blue-chip organizations around the world and maintain that their Bond experience was a key factor in fast-tracking their careers.

Ultimately, the results speak for themselves. Bond is now the highest rating university in Australia after receiving the maximum five-star rating in an unrivalled 10 key performance indicators in the 2008 Good Universities Guide.
