Accelerated degrees At Bond, you can complete your degree and start your career sooner than at a traditional university. Our teaching calendar includes three semesters per year instead of the usual two, allowing you to enter the workforce quicker than at other universities.

Designed for students who would like to gain work experience in Australia after they graduate, these unique master’s degrees incorporate a 20-week professional experience element, and permit international students to apply for an extended three or four-year post-study work visa.

Joshua Derko JURIS DOCTOR. “My advice for future Bond students is to take advantage of everything Bond has to offer. There are great programs, great guest lectures, great clubs – we spent two years indoors, so get out there and enjoy Bond’s beautiful campus.”
Lisa Bonin ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR, CANADIAN LAW PROGRAM. “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 halfway around the world, our students can still feel connected to the Canadian legal system and profession.”
Dr Wayne Hing HEAD OF PROGRAM, PHYSIOTHERAPY. “Students interested in studying physiotherapy at Bond can expect to receive a well-rounded and eclectic educational experience, and to graduate with a range of skills that include business management, research, and clinical practice. “Physiotherapy at Bond stands out because of its graduate entry pathways, accelerated timetable, and of course, the University’s beautiful location on the Gold Coast!”
Live in a city of innovation and opportunity The Gold Coast has quickly established itself as a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation, leading the way and growing constantly. More people on the Gold Coast own and run their own businesses than any other city in Australia, with the region attracting some of the world’s best and brightest minds.
A diverse industry landscape
Entrepreneurship opportunities
The Gold Coast offers a multifaceted and broad business landscape with strong employment opportunities across many sectors. Bond’s dedicated Career Development Centre provides access to industry connections that will help you make the most of our growing professional opportunities.
There are numerous opportunities for you to develop your entrepreneurship skills and nurture your ideas, both right here at Bond, and on the Gold Coast. Participate in the University’s Transformer program, major in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and participate in networking opportunities, competitions and initiatives to broaden your entrepreneurial skill set.
A global community Bond students hail from more than 90 countries around the world. The city is welcoming and diverse, with almost one in three residents having been born overseas. At Bond, you will join students from all corners of the globe and gain an international perspective on study and work.
Be eligible for a post-study work visa While it is Australia’s sixth largest city, the Gold Coast is classified as a regional city for migration purposes. This means that you may be eligible for an extended, three-year post-study work visa after graduation if you complete a bachelor’s degree, or a four-year post-study work visa if you complete a master’s by coursework.
Be a standout graduate What you do at university has never been more important in preparing you to succeed in your career. In an increasingly competitive job market, it’s no longer about what you learn in the classroom – enhancing your employability is an essential part of the university experience.
Unmatched access to opportunities
Personalised career guidance
At Bond, personal attention is at the core of our student experience. This means you will have unrivalled access to the array of services, initiatives, and experiences on offer. Unlike larger universities, where these opportunities are only available to a select few, every student at Bond can take advantage of an array of experiences that will set them up for success after graduation.
As a Bond student, you will have lifelong access to a variety of career development services through our Career Development Centre. Our team of dedicated career professionals can help you with a full suite of services, from preparing your resumé and helping you hone your interview skills, to providing you with networking opportunities and putting you in contact with industry professionals.
Our business students learn from entrepreneurs and start-ups in Silicon Valley, while law students argue mooting cases in Hong Kong, Beijing, Canada, or even Queensland’s own Supreme Court. Sports science students can work with elite athletes and professional teams from all over the world, and our interns travel to incredible cities like Washington, D.C., Paris, London, and New York.
Industry placements The Career Development Centre can also assist with brokering work placements within your chosen industry. Through an industry placement, you will gain valuable experience with leading Australian and international employers, and contacts you will take into your professional life. We’ll help you source placement opportunities, guiding you through the application process and supporting you during this experience and beyond.

Admission pathways Higher education diplomas
Combined undergraduate and postgraduate programs
Duration: 8 months (2 semesters) Starting: January, May, September Our diploma-level studies provide a pathway for students who do not meet the academic or English language requirements for direct entry into their chosen bachelor’s degree, or who would prefer to start their university journey in a more supportive environment.

A double degree is simply two degrees that are pre-approved to be undertaken concurrently, such as the Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws. At the undergraduate level, the majority of our combined programs pair law or business with another discipline, and are completed in anywhere between 2 years, 8 months and 3 years, 8 months.

Jackson Silvester-Lee BACHELOR OF EXERCISE AND SPORTS SCIENCE. “Bond University gave me the chance to bring my own ambitions to life. The staff have been there every step of the way for me to achieve my dreams of playing rugby and becoming an innovative strength and conditioning coach. “I am where I want to be because of my studies at Bond, and I will continue to strive for more because they have shown me that limits are only an illusion that are to be pushed aside to unlock one’s true potential. No matter how big your goals are, the staff at Bond will be there to guide you.”
Shivam Rishi BACHELOR OF LAWS. “When I was researching where to study, I quickly learned that at Bond, I wouldn’t be just another number – Bond offers small class sizes where you have access to valuable face time with your professors, all of whom you know by name and can approach for further guidance. “Coming from Canada, another reason I chose Bond is because of its specialised Canadian law courses. It was important to me to attend a university that would help me get certified if I decided to practice in Canada. Bond has a long history of offering Canadian law courses that assist with accreditation exams back in Canada, and ultimately, these have distinctly prepared me for my future career as an international commercial lawyer.”

Postgraduate and research funding may also be available through your home university, your employer or professional organisations in your country or region.
Canada Student Loans Program In Canada, the federal and provincial governments jointly administer student financial assistance through the Canada Student Loans Program, which includes federal student loans (called Canada student loans) and provincial student loans. Bond University is a recognised institution in the Canada Student Loans Program. The Canada Student Loans Program provides interest-free loans for Canadian citizens or permanent residents enrolled in at least 60 per cent of a full-time study load.
Bank loans or lines of credit Major Canadian banks offer limited lines of credit to help students pay their tuition fees. This option normally only covers a portion of the cost associated with attending university abroad. Some of Canada’s major banks have specific loans designed for students, which can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Banks with these kinds of schemes include the Bank of Montreal, CIBC, RBC Royal Bank, Scotiabank, and TD Canada Trust.
