Bond expands into Brisbane with new city base

Bond University is bringing its innovative programs and personalised learning experience to Brisbane with the launch of a dedicated teaching space in the city. Working in close collaboration with industry experts, Bond will deliver a range of its postgraduate programs in Brisbane from May 2022. The specialised offering, which includes graduate certificates, graduate diplomas, master’s programs and microcredential courses, will make it easy for professionals to upskill, advance their career, change direction or dive deeper into a specific area of expertise. Bond University Vice Chancellor and President Professor Tim Brailsford says the Brisbane location will make Bond’s worldclass education more accessible. “I am thrilled to offer Brisbane-based professionals the opportunity to experience the Bond difference from the convenience of their own city. Bond University is renowned for its personalised approach to education, small class sizes and global network of skilled graduates – an exciting proposition for those looking to take their career to the next level. South-East Queensland is booming, and with the 2032 Olympic Games coming our way, now is the perfect time to upskill our workforce.” Mr Gary Brady has been appointed Director, Brisbane for the Office of Future Students. Initially, he will focus on offering Bond’s Building Information Modelling (BIM) courses. BIM assists construction professionals, engineers, and architects in designing, planning and managing major building and infrastructure projects, and the Queensland Government has committed to delivering all projects over $50 million in value using BIM frameworks. Bond’s BIM program was launched in 2019. Professor Alan Patching and his team will bring these niche study areas to the city's doorstep. Professor Patching said the courses offered in Brisbane would be well suited to staff in government departments working on major projects, along with contractors and consultants including architects and engineers.

“Being familiar with BIM will enable them to lead in their field,” Professor Patching says. “The use of this technology is a growing area, in Australia and internationally, making it a valuable career investment.”
