Ask any Bondy and they’ll tell you that Bond is their second home.

Bond is located on Kombumerri country

The Kombumerri ‘Salt Water’ peoples’ traditional boundaries stretch from the Coomera River down to the Tweed River, and the foothills of the mountains.

As the first people of the region, the Kombumerri lived off the land and the water, with several dialects spoken in this region.

The Kombumerri people and their descendants have looked after this land and its wildlife for more than 20,000 years, and continue to maintain their spiritual connections and traditions today.

Bond University acknowledges the Kombumerri people, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which the University now stands. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

Bond students find a ‘gateway to the world’

As part of Bond University’s overseas study tour offerings, our international relations students have the opportunity to travel to New York City to immerse themselves in diplomacy through the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) International Model United Nations (WIMUN) Conference.

The January 2024 cohort got to play tourist in ‘The Big Apple’ as well as demonstrate everything they learned in the classroom, on the international stage. Bachelor of International Relations student Elsie Lamb led Bond’s delegation of five students and they won the Best Small Delegation (University) Award.

“The highlight was networking and getting to know the role diplomacy plays in the field of international relations,” said Elsie.

“At Bond we learn so much about the practical side of things. We practised and trained for four months beforehand. For the opening statement I gave at the UN Assembly Hall, I only found out about that the day before. I spoke in front of thousands of people in Times Square, pretending they were my crowd. We were lifting each other up and helping each other throughout the whole experience. It was truly a team experience, a gateway to understanding what happens in the world and something that I will definitely take forward into my career.”

Your degree decoded

There is a lot of terminology that comes with tertiary study. Here’s a handy glossary to help you navigate your next steps.

Entry requirements

Admission to a bachelor’s degree is based on Year 12 academic results (ATAR, IB or equivalent) or on the completion of a recognised pathway program. In 2020, the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) replaced the Overall Position (OP) as the primary tertiary admissions factor for Queensland Year 12 students.

Bachelor’s degrees

A bachelor’s degree is an undergraduate award of 24 subjects which is commonly the entry qualification required for many professions or further study. Most subjects have a value of 10 credit points (cps). Ultimately, successfully completed subjects will need to total 240cps for a standard bachelor’s degree. Exceptions include the Bachelor of Laws and the Medical Program^.

Prerequisites

Some Bond University programs require students to have completed specific subjects, known as prerequisites, to be eligible for entry. These may have been completed in high school or a pathway program such as a diploma. Please refer to individual program listings for more information.

Diplomas

Diplomas are non-degree offerings. A diploma can also be completed as a pathway for students who do not meet the academic requirements for direct entry into their chosen bachelor’s degree.

Majors, minors and double majors

A major is a cluster of six subjects selected from one area of specialisation, a minor is four subjects, and a double major is 12 subjects. Depending on your program, a major, minor or double major can provide an opportunity to pursue a complementary interest area.

Actuarial science and data analytics

Thomas Hauck

ELITE SWIMMER. RESEARCH ASSISTANT.

BACHELOR OF ACTUARIAL SCIENCE STUDENT.

I chose to study actuarial science because I have always enjoyed maths and problem solving, so I knew I wanted to apply those skills in my career. For me, actuarial science provides the perfect mixture of these skills and practical applications.

At Bond I have been able to make connections with my academics and gain valuable experience as a research assistant in the Centre for Data Analytics. This has already led to multiple job opportunities and given me a head start in my career.

My advice to high school students is talk to an expert! Whether it’s speaking with a current student, taking a campus tour or meeting academics directly, there are so many people at Bond who are willing to introduce you to the University and help you make your decision.

BACHELOR OF ACTUARIAL SCIENCE

Do you love maths? Solving puzzles? The Bachelor of Actuarial Science (CRICOS 083205M) could be for you. Actuarial Science is the most mathematically based degree offered by Bond Business School. Its foundation is in theoretical maths skills – especially probability theory - but Actuarial Science is about using maths as a mode of thinking and being able to discern which theory of maths to apply to certain situations.

Actuaries are most well known for their involvement in insurance and superannuation, but actuaries exist in any business where quantitative risk is involved. For example, actuaries could find employment anywhere from the treasury, through to investment banking, hedge funds, or mergers and acquisitions.

Maths B is a compulsory entry requirement for this degree.

Key features

• Study at one of seven universities in Australia and the only university in Queensland to be accredited by the Actuaries Institute.

• Gain an internationally recognised Bloomberg certification used in the finance and banking sectors.

• This program provides Part 1 (Foundation Program) accreditation by the Actuaries Institute.

Bond’s Bachelor of Actuarial Science (Honours) (CRICOS 086364E) will equip you with the data-crunching skills to form solutions to various business problems.

In this Honours program, you will complete all the necessary Part II (Actuary Program) subjects, including two online units, to be accredited as an actuary by the Actuaries Institute.

BACHELOR OF DATA ANALYTICS

course code 116378B

As the name suggests, the Bachelor of Data Analytics (CRICOS 116378B) focuses on the application of data to drive better business outcomes. Data analysts or data scientists use data to predict the likely outcome of a situation, using data science to maximise profits and improve business efficiencies. Data scientists are sought-after in all industries. They’re even needed in the health industry, where data science could inform how we manage hospital waiting rooms or operating theatres more efficiently. Prospective Data Analytics students aren’t necessarily mathematicians. But they’re problem solvers, may have computational and programming skills, and might even have a scientific background.

Minors

• Accounting Analytics

• Economic Modelling and Analysis

• Health System Analytics

• Marketing Analytics

• Psychometrics

• Quantitative Finance

• Sport Analytics

Professional outcomes

• Business Analyst

• Data Scientist

• Statistical Consultant

Postgraduate study

Bond Business School also offers a range of postgraduate programs in actuarial science.

Providing students with financial training and services, the Bond FinTech Hub is a cuttingedge on-campus facility. It’s made up of three rooms — the Trading Room, the Dealing Room and the Clearing House — two of which are equipped with a collective 40 Bloomberg Terminals, more than any university in Australia. Students across finance, data analytics, actuarial science and other disciplines regularly have class in the FinTech Hub, where they’ll learn how to execute deals, manage portfolios, trade financial securities and adapt to changing market conditions.

A cause close to home

Forest devastation fuels researcher’s pursuit to promote energy justice

The local devastation caused by deforestation is close to home for Bond University Assistant Professor of Economics Alex Acheampong. Remnants of the lush forests his grandma described as once surrounding their village (now a town) in Ghana dwindled as Dr Acheampong grew up.

“It was greener. In the villages, they described a lot of trees and bushes but those have all disappeared. Now, it’s not like it used to be even in the early 2000s. It’s really sad.”

The deforestation that Dr Acheampong describes of the area he grew up in, in Ghana, in sub-Saharan Africa, was in part caused by urbanisation and the reliance on forest resources for energy. About a third of the world’s population depends on woodfuel and other biomass as sources of energy. And dependence on woodfuel, the cheapest form of energy, is highest in Africa where about 63 per cent of the population uses it.

This reliance on woodfuel has not only led to endangering biodiversity in the local communities, but endangering the world through its impact on climate change. Dr Acheampong has joined the global race against climate change to prevent the escalation of devastation he saw in his own backyard.

Using advanced economic techniques, Dr Acheampong examines the potential impact of bridging the infrastructure gap between rural and urban areas, policy strategies, and the role that democratic systems play in these relationships.

Samantha Strauss is writing a new narrative for Australian television

Samantha is a multi-award-winning writer known for creating characters with complexity, but she didn’t consider herself a strong writer until, while studying a Bachelor of Film and Television at Bond, she received feedback from a guest lecturer — actor, director and The Comedy Company writer Ian McFadyen. “You’ve got talent, you know.

You should keep doing this,” he told Samantha after reading her script.

Ian’s encouragement came at the right time. The first film Samantha wrote at Bond was set at a dance school, and went on to become Dance Academy, a teen drama that still screens in 160 countries.

From the first draft of Dance Academy, Samantha has been committed to socially impactful stories.

“For me, the power of writing is digging under the skin,” she says. “It’s about investigating stories that haven’t had their time in the sunshine, letting the sunlight in and finding hope through those conversations.”

This metaphor inspired the name of Samantha’s production company Picking Scabs. She is part of a cohort of Australian women carving their reputation in the international film industry. As her career has taken off, she has chosen to focus on Australian projects and is among the growing number of filmmakers advocating for the introduction of local content requirements for major streaming platforms.

The deadly impact of antibiotic overprescription — and what you can do to help

We’ve all been there. After days (that can often feel like weeks) of suffering cold and flu symptoms, we head to our local doctor hoping to find a solution. But our desire for short-term relief from sickness is contributing to some long-term — and deadly — consequences.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) happens when different types of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, stop responding to medicines.

It’s a growing and very serious issue, with deaths from AMR predicted to overtake cancer deaths by 2050. Bond University Assistant Professor, Dr Mina Bakhit, leads research into antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) at the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare (IEBH).

Dr Bakhit’s IEBH research team, alongside researchers across Australia, have been granted $4 million by The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) to combat inappropriate antibiotic use in Australian clinical practice.

The five-year clinical implementation trial aims to identify the most effective strategy for intervention in primary care settings, to reduce the use of antibiotics and — in turn — reduce resistance in the broader community.

“More than one-third of the Australian population had at least one antibiotic in 2022, with most antibiotic prescriptions happening in a community setting,” points out Dr Bakhit.

“We’ll be inviting general practitioners (GPs) to help co-design intervention packages that use proven approaches, including audit and feedback strategies and information handouts, to target primary care patients with acute respiratory infections.”

Dr Bakhit says patients should always ask their doctor, “Is this antibiotic prescription necessary?”.

Moving across the country to study at Bond seemed scary at first but it has taught me things about myself I wouldn’t otherwise have learnt.

I travelled to Japan to represent Bond at the Japan-English Model United Nations held at Kindai University. We attended the Australian Embassy in Tokyo, met the Counsellor for Public Affairs, and I was awarded the Diplomacy Award for my efforts representing Mexico.

Through Bond, I also visited Nepal to live in a rural village for three weeks, teaching kids in schools and helping to paint an entire building and render a new classroom. It was the most amazing experience.

What subjects were your strongest at school? What types of topics and careers fascinate you? When do you feel the most ‘you’?

A great first step is to align your study to your passions, interests and ambitions, so spend some time reflecting on what you are interested in and start there when browsing program options.

How you learn best

Do you learn best independently, or do you prefer personal guidance and hands-on learning? Your learning environment is a crucial part of university study, and one that can surprise students who are transitioning from high school into a large university. Attend Open Days, explore websites, and ensure you’re aware of all of your options, and the differences between them, before making a decision.

Your future career outcomes

When you think of your future career, what comes to mind? If there are certain careers or jobs that you can imagine yourself doing, think about what degree and university is best going to get you there considering the program and opportunities to gain work experience and build your employability.

Financing your degree

Bond University is a fully independent, not-for-profit institution that invests 100 per cent of your tuition fees into providing a five-star educational experience, state-of-the-art facilities, and a truly personalised student framework. While our tuition fees are not subsidised by the Australian Government, they can be financed through a number of options including government assistance packages.

FEE-HELP

FEE-HELP is an interest-free student loan program funded by the Australian Government for all Australian citizens and others who meet the eligibility requirements. Similar to HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP allows eligible students to defer their tuition fees until after they graduate, when they can then be paid off in regular instalments.

From 1 January, 2020, a combined HELP loan limit replaced the FEE-HELP limit and includes FEE-HELP, VET Student Loans, VET FEE-HELP, and HECS-HELP. Only HECS-HELP borrowing from 1 January, 2020 onwards counts towards a person’s HELP limit. Any existing FEE-HELP, VET FEE-HELP or VET Student Loans that counted towards your FEE-HELP limit will count towards the combined HELP limit.

In 2025, the combined HELP loan limit is $126,839 for most students. The limit for students in the Medical Program is $182,172. Repayments are made through the taxation system at a minimum rate of 1 per cent per annum when your annual income reaches $54,435. The rate of repayment increases as annual income increases. You can apply for FEE-HELP online once you have received an offer from Bond University with your Student Identification Number. studyassist.gov.au

Living costs

Loyalty discounts

Bond offers a number of loyalty discounts to students who have a direct family member attending an eligible program at Bond or who have completed an eligible program here. These loyalty programs may provide a reduction of up to 10 per cent on tuition fees.

Other government assistance

Most Australian students who receive some form of government income support are on either Youth Allowance or AUSTUDY / ABSTUDY. Contact Centrelink for more information on eligibility.

Student Opportunity Fund

As a Bond student, you will have access to a range of experiences and activities to enhance your learning. The Student Opportunity Fund can help to finance those added extras with assistance available up to $2,000. For more information, visit bond.edu.au/student-opportunity-fund

In addition to your university tuition fees, there are a number of other costs to consider when planning your budget.

Estimated weekly living costs*

When considering the costs associated with your university studies, keep in mind that Bond’s accelerated schedule means you’ll finish your degree sooner. This signifies a substantial reduction in your total accommodation and living costs, as well as a full year of earnings from being out in the workforce earlier.
