Bachelor Program
HEAR FROM OUR STUDENTS From the day I started I felt deeply that the College and Bond University were my second home. The teachers and students here are very friendly and I can easily make friends with students from all over the world in such an international environment. The preparatory study let me find my own direction, but also taught me the University’s learning environment and atmosphere. When I encountered difficulties, I always received warm and helpful direction from Bond teachers. Bond University offers an unparalleled free student service, and learning guidance helps me improve my English skills quickly. I am very happy that I made the right choice to study at Bond. Jieyi Chen Foundation Program > Bachelor of Biomedical Science / Bachelor of Laws China
The Diploma of Legal Studies was a fantastic stepping stone which really assisted me in getting back into the swing of learning after having a five year break from study. It motivated and prepared me for what to expect in my Bachelor of Laws. My Bond University journey was challenging yet so incredibly rewarding. Learning alongside students from all over the world, by expert lecturers allowed me to grow as an individual, a student and a professional. I felt supported, encouraged and pushed to the absolute best of my ability. Now I have graduated I am working as a Solicitor in a Brisbane law firm. I loved every minute of my Bond experience. Laura Hagan Diploma of Legal Studies > Bachelor of Laws > Solicitor at Merthyr Law Australia
I was studying English education at a university in Japan aiming to be an English teacher when I heard about a study tour to Australia. I thought it was a good opportunity to test out studying abroad so I came over and spent three weeks studying General English at Bond University College. I loved it so much that I decided to come back to study English for a year. After my English programs I wanted to keep studying at Bond so I cancelled my enrolment in Japan and studied a Bachelor of Communication here. I am now an Associate of Client Experience for Weber Shandwick in Tokyo. Bond was more than just the foundation of my career development, Bond was the best choice I’ve made in my life. Satoshi Ito General English > English for Academic Purposes > Bachelor of Communication > Associate, Client Experience at Weber Shandwick Japan
The Diploma of Business helped me transition smoothly from working full-time to studying full-time. The subjects covered in the Diploma gave me a good foundation of knowledge before starting my degree. The campus is really nice and the small class sizes make learning more personable. Bond has great facilities and the learning experience is unparalleled. Every class I’ve had at Bond, the teachers have known me by name and have been more than willing to do whatever they can. It’s a very encouraging atmosphere as the teachers want to see you succeed. Elizabeth O’Hagan Diploma of Business > Bachelor of Commerce > Graduate Analyst at Pinnacle Investment Management Australia

MONA IZZELDIN “Moving far away from home, I didn’t know what to expect but everyone here at Bond is wonderful. It was easy to fit in and make friends that are like a second family to me now. The Foundation Program has given me a new outlook on university life, where the class learning environment is very calm and interesting. It has prepared me to better know what to expect during my degree. I am so glad to be given the opportunity and happy to have made a decision I know I will never regret.”

Assessment In each level, EAP students are assessed in the four macro skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking through: • Ongoing assignments throughout the semester • A mid-semester exam (Week 7) • A final exam (Week 14) Study schedule Full-time study involves 25 hours per week, with five of those hours being for independent study and/or individual consultation. Intakes for each EAP level are accepted in January, May and September, in line with Bond University’s academic semesters – holiday periods of 3-5 weeks are allocated between each 14-week semester. This allows you to progress easily into the University’s degree programs when the time comes.

MANUELA FRANCESCHINI English for Academic Purposes > Master of International Relations Academic Teacher, Bond University Brazil “I came to Australia on vacation originally, however quickly decided that I wanted to learn English while I was here as I knew it would help me further progress my career as a successful Journalist in Brazil. I enrolled in EAP and still remember my first day at Bond. Everything on the campus invites you to have the most complete experience of learning. From that day on, I knew there was no way back. After completing EAP I went on to do my Master of International Relations whilst also working as a Foreign Correspondent. I came to Bond as an English student, became a postgraduate student, and I’m now a tutor at Bond and about to start my PhD. I would have never imagined that I could succeed in a language that is not my native one, in a country and a culture that are not mine. This was all made possible because Bond is outstanding not only when it comes to teaching, but in the whole sense of education.”
