Tempa Gyeltshen BHUTAN, MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. “Bond University is an ideal place to study. It has a huge campus with ample facilities to support research and skills development. Bond has meticulously designed its environment to provide learning spaces that suit every student, and are conducive to productivity and inspiration. That combined with the one-to-one support provided by resources like the Academic Skills Centre and the professors themselves make Bond a very personalised place to learn. “My study experience at Bond has been the best time of my life.”
Neeti Mehta Shukla BUILDING A BETTER BUSINESS WITH BOTS. What started in the guest bedroom of Neeti Mehta Shukla’s house has now become a $US6.8 billion robotic process automation (RPA) company. Ms Shukla graduated with an MBA from Bond in 1997 and launched her company, Automation Anywhere, with her husband in 2003. Within minutes they already had their first customer. Now, Automation Anywhere has its global headquarters in San Jose, California and a client list including ANZ Bank, University of Melbourne, Dell, Sprint and more. It has also deployed over 2.8 million bots to support some of the world’s largest enterprises. The company allows users to create custom software bots with Automation Anywhere technology that automates manual, repetitive business and IT processes. The bots, which utilise artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, can be configured to perform tasks assigned and controlled by the user. The headquarters are a long way from Bond University, but Ms Shukla keeps the university close to her heart. She’s even a member of the Bond Business School Advisory Board. “The education, professors and courses were so impactful and also really diverse. I had the time of my life. All the friends I made there have been for life, and we still keep in touch and meet when we can,” says Ms Shukla. “It was a good combination of education that stretched my boundaries and allowed me to get the best from the world.”

Debashish Pimprikar INDIA, MASTER OF SPORT MANAGEMENT / MASTER OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT. “I chose Bond because it was the only university offering a dual postgraduate degree in project management and sport management, which is amazing. I was immediately drawn to the course and its unique structure. “Since commencing my studies on the Gold Coast, life on campus has been great. Getting to meet students and professors from all around the world has really broadened my perspective.”
Double degree programs
•
If one qualification isn’t enough, a double degree provides an excellent way to build on your studies and develop either broad or specialist knowledge. You’ll be able to complete two complementary degrees in the time it takes to finish just one at other universities.
• • •
Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice Bachelor of Health Sciences and Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice Bachelor of Health Sciences and Master of Occupational Therapy Medical Program (made up of the Bachelor of Medical Studies and the Doctor of Medicine) via the Bachelor of Biomedical Science pathway
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. We also offer double degrees at the postgraduate level, with combined qualifications with the MBA or Master of Project Management and an array of complementary postgraduate programs.
This provides students with the flexibility to either streamline their university studies at Bond, commencing at the undergraduate level and going directly into their postgraduate degree upon completion of a bachelor’s program, or to articulate directly into a master’s program with an approved undergraduate degree from another international or Australian institution.
Explore double degrees at bond.edu.au/program.

Professor Steve Stern PHD, MSCI, BSC. INTERNATIONAL STATISTICS EXPERT. CUSTODIAN OF THE DUCKWORTH-LEWIS-STERN METHOD. PROFESSOR OF DATA SCIENCE. “I don’t teach facts, I teach ideas. I’m not interested in my students regurgitating facts and theories about stats; I want them to understand the real reasons behind data analysis methods and understand how and when analytic techniques should, and more importantly shouldn’t, be used. “Data analysis is the skill of the future. If you know how to understand and analyse data, there is no industry or career in the world you can’t be involved in somehow.”
