Bond University is Australia’s first private, not-for-profit university, offering a personalised academic environment that enables graduates to exceed the outer limits of their potential. With access to unparalleled academic and technological resources on Bond’s world-class Gold Coast campus, students thrive in smaller study groups where eminent professors and industry experienced lecturers know them by name.

By undertaking three semesters per year instead of the usual two, graduates finish their studies sooner. Combine this advantage with Bond’s commitment to opening doors to blue chip employers and it becomes clear that students graduate with a clear competitive advantage over their public university peers.

Ultimately, the results speak for themselves. The 2011 Good Universities Guide rates Bond 5 stars for:
■ Overall Satisfaction
■ Getting a Job
■ Positive Graduate Outcomes
■ Teaching Quality
■ Staff Qualifications
■ Student to Staff Ratio
■ Generic Skills
■ Non-Government Earnings

Third party research also shows that employers know Bond graduates are better prepared for the workplace than any other university graduates.

At Bond, we believe that potential becomes limitless when you combine ambition with opportunity. In fact, we not only share your ambition, we bring it to life.
