Bond University: Bringing ambition to life
View(s):Bond University offers a personalised educational experience of the highest international standards, and is dedicated to grooming the next generation of corporate and community leaders.
Bond pioneered an independent, not-for-profit model of university education in Australia, introducing a three semesters per year schedule that accelerated study programmes allowing students to complete a six-semester bachelor degree in two years, or a masters in 12 months – enabling students to graduate up to a year earlier than their peers from other universities.
With an internationally diverse, close-knit community of approximately 4,200 students, Bond has Australia’s lowest student-to-staff ratio of10:1, enabling small class sizes that encourage productive engagement and individual mentoring. Classrooms are imbued with a distinctly global perspective. Collaborative, discussion-based teaching encourages students from some 80 countries worldwide to share their experiences and learn from others.
Through the University’s extensive corporate partnerships, students have access to industry leaders and opportunities for internships, scholarships, ground-breaking research, and graduate placements with a number of blue-chip organisations worldwide. Students can also choose to broaden their horizons by participating in an international exchange program, with the opportunity to study relevant subjects at some of the world’s leading universities throughout Asia, Europe and North America. Bond also welcomes students from its partner institutions who wish to study in Australia for a semester through the Study Abroad program.
The University offers over 200 internationally recognised undergraduate and postgraduate (coursework and research) degrees across its Faculties of Law, Business, Humanities & Social Sciences and Health Sciences & Medicine; and Institute of Sustainable Development and Architecture. Also on campus are Bond College – offering university pathway programs – and the Bond University English Language Institute.
All students have access to state-of-the-art academic, technological and recreational facilities on Bond’s 50-hectare Gold Coast campus, in south-east Queensland. Extended library hours, 24/7 computer laboratories, an advanced multimedia learning centre, the multi-million dollar Law Skills Centre and the Macquarie Trading Room are just some of the 21st century facilities available exclusively to Bond students.
There is a wide array of on-campus accommodation and dining options with additional accommodation within walking distance of the campus.
More than 70 on-campus sporting, recreation and special interest clubs operate on campus, fostering the tight-knit community spirit and complementing the student experience.This personalised approach to education, combined with its uncompromising focus on industry relevance, the development of the global citizen, and the commitment to being part of a close-knit community, sets Bond apart from every other Australian university.
Bond University will be hosting an information session for Sri Lankan students wishing to study in Australia on Thursday 15 August 2013 at the Cinnamon Grand Colombo, Sri Lanka. There will be an opportunity to meet with Bond Academics from the faculties of Business, Health Sciences and Medicine, Humanities and Social Sciences, Law and the Institute of Sustainable Development and Architecture.
