S T U D Y I N G Y O U R U N D E R G R A D U AT E D E G R E E AT B O N D Bond University teaches over three semesters a year, allowing you to complete your studies much earlier than at other universities. Bond’s accelerated study mode, combined with the flexibility of our cross-faculty subject offerings, gives you the opportunity to tailor your studies to suit your specific career goals or enhance your employability by gaining extra qualifications.

UNIVERSITY CORE SUBJECTS At Bond University, we recognise that graduates require the soft skills to problem solve and apply their education to a variety of settings as their careers evolve and change throughout their lives. As a result, you will complete three Bond Core subjects plus one not-for-credit component, Beyond Bond. Critical Thinking and Communication (Core 1) In this subject you will be introduced to critical thinking and clear expression. You will evaluate arguments, identify assumptions, judge patterns of inference, and recognise and apply various methods of reasoning. You will learn how to clarify and visually represent your thinking to make better decisions, evaluate and use evidence, and communicate more effectively in your writing and speaking. Using these skills, you will structure and write an academic essay and deliver an oral presentation. Leadership and Team Dynamics (Core 2) This subject is designed to help you develop the intrapersonal and interpersonal skills to function effectively as individual contributors, team players and leaders in diverse social contexts. These skills will be essential to your personal and professional life in any current or future profession. You will gain a greater understanding of your personality, values, emotions, perceptions and related attributes, and develop an appreciation of the diversity of these characteristics in others. This perspective is required to work effectively in diverse multi-disciplinary groups and to develop the followership and leadership behaviours that are highly valued in contemporary organisations. Ethical Thought and Action (Core 3) Using an applied case-based approach, this subject will help you gain ethical awareness, develop relevant reasoning skills, and empower yourself to act ethically in personal and professional contexts. This interdisciplinary subject explores critical ethical issues in science, law, business, media, and the environment. Topics remain flexible to reflect the dynamic nature of ethical issues in the 21st century.

ELECTIVE SUBJECTS Completing the Bachelor of Laws allows you to choose elective subjects, either from the host faculty or from any other faculty in the University.

Much of the work I do is advising within the technology space, including drones, smart cities and connected homes (the latter having been shown on the latest series of ‘The Block’).

LACHLAN HOPWOOD Bachelor of Actuarial Science / Bachelor of Laws | Alumnus Graduate, Top Tier Legal Firm, Sydney

I had always wanted to study law, and had attended a presentation given by the Director of Mooting held in the Moot Court. In the presentation, I saw first hand how amazing the facilities available to students are and also learnt about the key advantage of Bond: the number of opportunities open to students to participate in competitions, engage with the profession, and extend their studies through international experience is incredible, and you have the benefit of forming part of a relatively small cohort of students. This means that there are more opportunities open to each individual student to extend themselves than is possible at larger universities.

I N T E G R AT E D S K I L L S A N D PROFESSIONALISM PROGRAM Our unique Integrated Skills and Professionalism Program is part of the Bachelor of Laws and focuses on core skills essential to the practice of law. The individual modules are taught in conjunction with the relevant legal subjects over a number of semesters during your degree.

STEPHANIE CENTORAME Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws

My first day at the Gold Coast Community Legal Centre, I was thrown into the deep end, facilitating client entry interviews and drafting letters of advice for clients with a vast array of legal problems. Such an intense practical experience fosters the most rapid and effective development of the leadership and communication skills that all future lawyers should build upon early in their degree. Taking part in the Bond Community Law Clinic has broadened my outlook towards legal practice and the skills needed to be a successful advocate for clients. I would absolutely recommend participation in this outstanding program; I have grown so much not only as a student of law, but as a member of the Bond and Gold Coast Community.

MARTIN FLORO

Bachelor of International Relations / Bachelor of Laws

After only a year at Bond I’ve come further than I could ever have imagined. I’ve already gained a wealth of practical experience, travelled domestically and internationally to compete at moot competitions, and developed a network of contacts across a number of disciplines that will undoubtedly come in handy in the future. This, in essence, captures the heart of my Bond experience; not only have I gained a wealth of experience in the classroom, but I’ve developed a network that will be intact long after I graduate.

SCHOLARSHIPS There are several scholarships available to law students each year. Among these are the Vice Chancellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elite Scholarship and Judge John Newton Mooting Scholarship. Scholarship applications are for Year 12 Australian students only. To view the various scholarships available and recruitment dates, please visit bond.edu.au/scholarships. JUDGE JOHN NEWTON MOOTING SCHOLARSHIP Bond University is honoured to be able to offer the Judge John Newton Mooting Scholarship each year. Three (3) scholarships of 50% tuition fee waiver are available to students who have competed previously in Bond Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National High School Mooting Competition, and who wish to study law at Bond, either in a single degree Bachelor of Laws program, or as part of a combined degree program.

Bond Law Prospectus

Bond presents law students with opportunities from their very first semester. The biggest highlights for my first semester at Bond were competing in the Grand Final of the Brian Orr in-house mooting competition then being given the opportunity to represent Bond on the Global Sports Law mooting team.

LISA BONIN Assistant Professor

As a former litigator with a leading national law firm in Canada, I really appreciate Bond’s integrated practical skills curriculum. For our Canadian students, the focus on skills continues through into our Canadian courses and really prepares these students for their return to Canada. We support our Canadian students in their transition back to Canada, providing information sessions and resources dedicated to the admissions process after graduation, as well as relevant work experience and clinical opportunities. Although we are half way around the world, our students can still feel connected to the Canadian legal system and profession.
