Welcome to Bond University
on Australia’s Gold Coast
With more than 300 days of sunshine per year,
a growing population and limitless opportunities,
the Gold Coast has become known as Australia’s
favourite classroom. Located in the city’s
geographical centre, Bond University has earned
a reputation as Australia’s leading university
for student experience, and as a home away
from home for international students.
As Australia’s first private, not-for-profit university,
Bond has been modelled on the traditions of the
world’s best educational institutions to provide a
tertiary experience of the highest international
standards. Student experience is at the heart of
everything we do – 100 per cent of our tuition fees
are reinvested into ensuring our students have
access to world-class facilities and study resources,
and can learn under the guidance of industry leading
academics.
Bond University is recognised as a self-accrediting
Australian university by the Tertiary Education
Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), and our
programs for international students are recognised
with the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and
Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS).

The Bond University difference
An investment in your education is an investment in your future success. Your time at Bond will enable
career-enhancing opportunities, build valuable networks, and allow you to start achieving your career goals
faster.
Accelerated degrees
At Bond, you can complete your degree and start your career sooner
than at a traditional university. Our teaching calendar includes three
semesters per year instead of the usual two, allowing you to enter
the workforce quicker than at other universities. With semesters
starting in January, May and September, you could complete a
combined degree, or an undergraduate and postgraduate degree, in
less time than it would take to complete a single degree at another
university.
Programs tailored to international
students
In addition to our accelerated programs, we also offer a range of
two-year ‘professional’ master’s programs. Designed for students
who would like to gain work experience in Australia after they
graduate, these unique master’s degrees incorporate a 20-week
professional experience element, and permit international students
to apply for an extended three or four-year post-study work visa.
*Some degrees require students to study
for longer than 2 years, e.g., the Bachelor
of Laws.

Personal attention
Bond’s student-to-teacher ratio is one of the lowest in Australia, which means you will enjoy personalised
support and attention throughout your studies. You will have unmatched access to your lecturers and tutors,
who will actively mentor your progress, as well as personalised career and academic support to help you
succeed in your studies and plan for your career after graduation.
Individual support
A key part of the Bond University difference is the personal support
you will receive at every step along the way. At Bond, you will never
get lost in the crowd – you will have access to an abundance of
opportunities and our extensive support services, including the
Academic Skills Centre and Career Development Centre.
Developing key employability skills
Bond graduates stand out both at university and in their future
careers. In addition to Bond’s extensive career development support,
the development of key skills is embedded into every Bond
University degree. Our undergraduate degrees include three Core
curriculum subjects, plus the Beyond Bond professional
development program, which collectively teach invaluable skills you
will take with you throughout your professional life.
Entrepreneurship and the Transformer
program
At Bond, we focus on developing adaptive, tech-savvy and futurefocused graduates with a strong entrepreneurial streak. Bond offers
a free co-curricular program called Transformer, which brings
students together from all disciplines to collaborate on projects and
bring big business ideas to life. Working in teams, Transformer
participants have access to industry experts, mentors, workshops
and a 24/7 co-working space.

PERU, BACHELOR OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE.
“The experience you receive at Bond, not only socially
but academically, is much greater than larger
universities that may see you as just another number.
As an international student, I have access to
personalised support, like help with my assignments
and internship placements – all the things I wouldn’t
have had access to at another university, but are
available at Bond because of our small class sizes.
Being president of the Esports Club at Bond has been
a highlight of my time here, and a complete honour.
It has helped me to make connections at Bond
and with other universities in the esports league.”
Building a better
business with bots
What started in the guest bedroom of Neeti Mehta
Shukla’s house has now become a $US6.8 billion
robotic process automation (RPA) company.
Ms Shukla graduated with an MBA from Bond in 1997 and
launched her company, Automation Anywhere, with her husband
in 2003. Within minutes they already had their first customer.
Now, Automation Anywhere has its global headquarters in San
Jose, California and a client list including ANZ Bank, University
of Melbourne, Dell, Sprint and more. It has also deployed over
2.8 million bots to support some of the world’s largest
enterprises.
The company allows users to create custom software bots with
Automation Anywhere technology that automates manual,
repetitive business and IT processes. The bots, which utilise
artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, can be
configured to perform tasks assigned and controlled by the user.
The headquarters are a long way from Bond University, but Ms
Shukla keeps the university close to her heart. She’s even a
member of the Bond Business School Advisory Board.
“The education, professors and courses were so impactful and
also really diverse. I had the time of my life. All the friends I
made there have been for life, and we still keep in touch and
meet when we can,” says Ms Shukla.
“It was a good combination of education that stretched my
boundaries and allowed me to get the best from the world.”

Live in a city of innovation and opportunity
The Gold Coast has quickly established itself as a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation, leading the way
nationally, and growing constantly. More people on the Gold Coast own and run their own businesses than
any other city in Australia, with the region attracting some of the world’s best and brightest minds.
A diverse industry landscape
The Gold Coast offers a multifaceted and broad business landscape
with strong employment opportunities across many sectors. Bond’s
dedicated Career Development Centre provides access to industry
connections that will help you make the most of our growing
professional opportunities.
A global community
Bond students hail from more than 90 countries around the world.
The city is welcoming and diverse, with almost one in three residents
having been born overseas. At Bond, you will join students from all
corners of the globe and gain an international perspective on study
and work.
Entrepreneurship opportunities
There are numerous opportunities for you to develop your
entrepreneurship skills and nurture your ideas, both right here at
Bond, and on the Gold Coast. Participate in the University’s
Transformer program, major in Entrepreneurship and Innovation,
and participate in networking opportunities, competitions and
initiatives to broaden your entrepreneurial skill set.
Be eligible for a post-study work visa
While it is Australia’s sixth largest city, the Gold Coast is classified as
a regional city for migration purposes. This means that you may be
eligible for an extended, three-year post-study work visa after
graduation if you complete a bachelor’s degree, or a four-year
post-study work visa if you complete a master’s by coursework.
Be a standout graduate
What you do at university has never been more important in preparing you to succeed in your career. In an
increasingly competitive job market, it’s no longer solely about what you learn in the classroom – enhancing
your employability is an equally essential part of the university experience.
Unmatched access to opportunities
At Bond, personal attention is at the core of our student experience.
This means you will have unrivalled access to the array of services,
initiatives and experiences on offer. Unlike larger universities, where
these opportunities are only available to a select few, every student
at Bond can take advantage of an array of opportunities that will set
them up for success after graduation.
Personalised career guidance
As a Bond student, you will have lifelong access to a variety of
career development services through our Career Development
Centre. Our team of dedicated career professionals can help you
with everything from preparing your resumé and helping you hone
your interview skills, to providing you with networking opportunities
and putting you in contact with industry professionals.
Industry placements
The Career Development Centre can also assist with brokering work
placements within your chosen industry. Through an industry
placement, you will gain valuable experience with leading Australian
and international employers, and contacts you will take into your
professional life. We’ll help you source relevant opportunities,
guiding you throughout the application process, your placement and
beyond.

student, you will join an open student community where you will be encouraged to meet and network with both

international students to have access to a minimum of AUD $21,041
per year to fund their living expenses.

Bond University College to help you achieve the necessary academic results.
Our pathway programs are delivered on campus by Bond University College, and consist of academic and English preparation programs

students additional support in small class environments. Bond University College students have full access to the same on-campus resources

Double degree programs
If one qualification isn’t enough, a double degree provides an
excellent way to build on your studies and develop either broad or
specialist knowledge. You’ll be able to complete two complementary
degrees in the time it takes to finish just one at other universities.
A double degree is simply two degrees that are pre-approved to be
undertaken concurrently, such as the Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of
Laws. At the undergraduate level, the majority of our combined
programs pair law or business with another discipline, and are
completed in anywhere between 2 years, 8 months and 3 years, 8
months. We also offer double degrees at the postgraduate level, with
combined qualifications with the MBA or Master of Project
Management and an array of complementary postgraduate
programs.
Explore double degrees at bond.edu.au/program.

“Bond’s small classes have allowed me to interact closely with
my classmates and lecturers, and the accelerated program
structure mirrors a fast-paced work environment, which has
improved my organisational and time management skills. One
of my highlights at Bond has been applying what I have learnt
in lectures to real life scenarios.
As I live on campus, I have had so many opportunities to
meet new people and develop lifelong friendships. Easy
access to on-campus facilities is also a plus!”

PROFESSOR OF DATA SCIENCE.
CUSTODIAN OF THE DUCKWORTH-LEWIS-STERN
(DLS) SYSTEM.
“I don’t teach facts, I teach ideas. I’m not interested in my
students regurgitating facts and theories about stats; I want
them to understand the real reasons behind data analysis
methods and understand how and when analytic techniques
should, and more importantly shouldn’t, be used.
Data analysis is the skill of the future. If you know how to
understand and analyse data, there is no industry or career
in the world you can’t be involved in somehow.”

HONG KONG, MASTER OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.
“My study experience at Bond has been great so far. The lecturers
are really helpful and approachable – I know I can always stop and
chat with them, and feel really comfortable doing so. They are also
very willing to spend time meeting us face to face to discuss
assignments, rather than just communicating via email.
This makes the study environment at Bond far more relaxed than a
traditional university, which in turn, makes me more motivated to
attend my classes! The facilities at Bond are also another standout
part of attending university here – from the gym and the pool, to our
learning facilities, even through to the free on-campus parking.”

“It’s hard to imagine a better time to pursue a career in the
construction, property and planning fields. The market is
currently very strong, and with the Brisbane Olympics just
ten years away, I strongly suspect these sectors will
continue with vigour, and that will translate to ongoing
opportunity for employment and rewarding careers.
Bond’s programs are delivered by experienced
academics, many with substantial practical
experience, which means students can be
assured of cutting-edge information based
on the very latest research
and industry findings.”

“Bond University is a really exciting place to learn
about architecture. The working and learning spaces
are inspiring, and the creative atmosphere makes
you push yourself to do better. I really like the small
class sizes and opportunity for one-on-one feedback
from world-renowned architects. Bond’s global
approach also really stands out to me – for instance,
I had the opportunity to work on a project in
Singapore and meet with students and architects
from Singapore.”

“I chose Bond because I wanted to see and experience
a completely different part of the world than Norway, where I’m
from. It was especially important that I found a school that had
both a great social and educational environment. Bond stood
out to me as a university that would give me the perfect
balance, and since arriving on campus, that has been proven to
me time and time again.
It was also inspiring to learn that one of Norway’s biggest
filmmakers, Tommy Wirkola, went to Bond.
To see that someone from the same tiny corner of the world as
me has taken a similar path and succeeded was extremely
inspiring, and solidified Bond as the best choice for me.”
