University
As a fully independent teaching and research institution, Bond University offers a unique and personalised educational experience, specifically designed to challenge students to be the very best that they can be.
Bond University’s uncompromising focus on industry relevance and ‘practical’ approach to learning sets it apart from every other Australian university. Our small classes, instructed by highly-qualified staff, enable students to receive more individualised attention and personal assistance with their work.
Bond University schedules three semesters (terms) per year with intakes in January, May and September. This allows students to complete a bachelor’s degree in just two years and a master’s in one, thereby gaining a head start on their peers and saving money on living expenses.
In 2010, Bond received a 5 star rating across 9 key performance indicators in the Good Universities Guide and achieved the status of Australia’s highest rating University.
Bond’s three-semesters-per-year schedule enables students to supplement their academic qualifications by undertaking internships, work placements and overseas exchanges, without over-extending their time at university. Structured internship programs and work placements can be arranged in almost every field of study through Bond’s extensive network of corporate partners. More specific information on the internship opportunities can be found on each of the Faculty pages:
