Candice Dixon COMMUNICATION & CREATIVE MEDIA
Presenter - Saturday Disney, Channel 7
Bond’s fast-tracked degree meant that I could complete a Bachelor of Communication in two years and launch my career at a very young age. On a television program like Saturday Disney, youth is obviously a very important factor but so, too, are communication, journalism and general media skills. Bond’s communication program was the perfect foundation as it is intensely practical with a strong emphasis on internships. In fact, my lecturers helped me line up internships at Channel 9’s Gold Coast News and 102.9 Hot Tomato, and I worked on various television and movie sets as an extra while I was studying. I majored in journalism which gave me a really good understanding of writing, researching and camera operations. I walked away with invaluable knowledge from lecturers and fellow students. I now look to my lecturers as mentors and feel as though I can still contact them for support.
BComm Alumnus
COMMUNICATION GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS If you love working with people, a degree in Communication is a great place to start. Whether it’s conflict resolution in the community, corporate negotiations, communicating through the mass media via public relations and advertising, or working with the latest multi-media technologies, Bond University will give you all the tools you need to bring your ambition to life. Studies in communication offer a broad set of skills that can be adapted to a wide range of careers in almost every industry sector you can imagine. At the heart of it all, communication is about engaging people, getting your message across and understanding the messages of others. This is seen in many fields, including the rapidly expanding interactive entertainment industry, advertising and public relations or in television, newspapers and radio. It could be in a corporate or legal setting, negotiating contracts or managing human resources. It could be in a government department devising new social policies; or it could be promoting the latest computer games.
Our graduates are now working with leading advertising agencies, as award-winning investigative journalists, in public relations consultancies, marketing roles and more. They tell us that the first-hand experience, industry contacts and practical knowledge they gained at Bond put them way ahead of the competition when it came to applying for jobs. Whatever pathway you choose, you’ll find that your communication qualifications are in great demand in the workplace, both in Australia and all over the world.
The range and flexibility of Bond’s Communication degrees gives you the opportunity to explore all of these options and more. You can tailor a broad-based communication qualification by selecting one or two majors in a specific area of interest; or major in communication as part of other degrees.

FILM AND TELEVISION LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Do you want to make movies or work in film and television? Do you dream of being a screenwriter, producer, director, cinematographer, editor, sound designer or production designer? Are you looking for a world-class film and television education that attracts students from all over the world? Our Bachelor of Film and Television is intensely practical, hands-on and project-based, which allows students to immerse themselves in a total filmmaking experience. Our program carefully balances industry standard professional production techniques with specially selected creative practice theory, enabling students to explore and develop their individual creativity. Each year our students make over 300 film and television productions, and throughout their degree each student has the opportunity to write and direct at least six short productions. Within this creative environment students form lasting friendships and partnerships that form the foundations of their careers once they graduate. Our unique individually focused teaching methodology and personalised approach encourages each student to become a leader and dynamic thinker; taking them
beyond the accepted definition of ‘education’ to develop creativity, enterprise, ambition and a lifelong commitment to building a successful career. Students acquire skills in traditional and emerging production technologies, develop cinema aesthetic and critical capabilities, and receive insight into the commercial and industrial aspects of the international film and television industry. Short films produced by students have won many awards at local and national film festivals, with many graduates going on to achieve recognition in some of the world’s most prestigious festivals such as the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival, Tropfest, the Queensland New Film Makers Awards, and the St Kilda Film festival. In 2013 Bond Graduate, Tommy Wirkola’s feature film “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” became a Hollywood blockbuster. In the interest of encouraging further industry connections and promoting excellence in the field, lectures are often presented by visiting professionals such as Mark Overette, Producer of Iron Sky, Chris Brown, Producer of “The Proposition” and “Railway Man”, Cathy Henkel, Director of “The Burning Season”, Michael Angus, Director of the multi-award winning documentary “Salt”, and Ted Emery, Director of “Kath & Kim”.
Bond University Students Use F65 Cameras to Enhance their Studies In keeping with the Film and Television department’s policy of using the very latest and best Hollywood standard equipment, Bond University chose two of Sony’s flagship F65 CineAlta Premium 8K cameras for its Bachelor of Film and Television degree. The acquisition of the Sony F65 along with the Sony F3 and Panasonic AG-HPX600EN cameras, allows Bond to build upon its established pedigree of outstanding graduates by preparing future filmmakers for immediate employment into an industry utilising cutting edge technology. Bond has one of the lowest student to camera ratios, and some of the most modern cameras, of any Australian university film school.

ARTS CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH Whether you have a specific interest or want to combine different areas to suit your career aspirations, an Arts degree from Bond University can help bring your ambition to life. A Bond Arts degree offers students a broad set of skills essential to all professions, and encompasses a set of core subjects, designed to assist students in their quest for success in whatever area they choose. The flexibility of Bond’s programs allow you to tailor qualifications to suit your career path. You can combine a Philosophy major with a Language major or a Communication major with an International Relations major. You can even specialise in specific disciplines
SOME KEY AREAS OF ARTS BACHELOR OF ARTS (EIL) The Bachelor of Arts (English as an International Language)(EIL) is a Pathway program designed for students from non-English speaking backgrounds, allowing students to improve their English language level during, rather than prior to, tertiary study. It is more structured than the mainstream Bachelor of Arts and includes required core and English subjects, which must be completed before students undertake further study. Subjects undertaken in the Bachelor of Arts (EIL) may be credited towards other programs. AUSTRALIAN STUDIES To many individuals the continent of Australia is an unknown and mysterious ‘last frontier’ with its Aboriginal culture, pioneer history, unique flora and fauna and a vast ‘unexplored’ outback. All these special icons have a story and Australian Studies provides an insight into these stories.

by undertaking a double major in your area of interest or by combining two closely aligned majors such as Communication and Journalism. There is opportunity to explore a range of other subjects offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, or by other Faculties such as Health Sciences and Medicine, Law and Business. Increasing your knowledge base and cross-discipline understanding in this way can give you a significant advantage in the employment market. Differing from the more traditional models, Bond maintains the integrity of its Arts degrees by integrating flexibility with structure, ensuring that all students graduate with a clear skills set.
LANGUAGES In today’s seemingly shrinking world, global information is at our fingertips and society is being more multicultural; it is important for global citizens to be able to communicate with each other effectively and in more than one language. The Faculty offers studies in Chinese (Mandarin), French, Japanese and Spanish. PHILOSOPHY Philosophy is a broadly based form of enquiry into the fundamental aspects of human knowledge and activity. It deals with morality, art, science, religion, politics, and society. Philosophy is less about memorising information than it is about learning to adopt a style of thinking. Thus it aims to assist students in developing their own capabilities for reflecting critically and deeply on issues which are of fundamental and enduring significance.

APPLIED LINGUISTICS BEYOND BORDERS If your ambition lies beyond borders, both linguistically and culturally, then a degree in Applied Linguistics from Bond University can help break down those borders. Applied linguistics is a scholarly discipline which focuses on the applications of theories to an understanding of how humans learn and use languages (first or second). These theories are related to linguistics and other disciplines including education, psychology, philosophy or anthropology. Applied linguistics also applies to such areas as second language acquisition, bilingualism, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and second language pedagogy. Second language pedagogy has two main aims, the first is to provide a background of insights into language learning and the second is to explore the practical applications of these theories in the language classroom.
If your dream is to travel or work and live overseas you may wish to consider a Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) qualification, that allows you to widen your options and assist non-English speakers in any country to master this international language. To make it even easier, the Master of Arts (TESOL) program is now available online. The Applied Linguistics programs at Bond ensure you are well prepared, incorporating language class simulations where students gain real-time feedback on their techniques. Students will also benefit from the ease of gaining practical experience at the Bond University English Language Institute (BUELI), our on-campus ELICOS centre.
Dr Masanori Matsumoto Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics Dr Masanori Matsumoto spent seven years working in the banking industry in Japan before he started teaching Japanese as a second language at the Pana-Linguista Institute of Japanese Language in Tokyo. From there, he began to lecture in Japanese teaching methodology. His interest in teaching Japanese expanded and brought him to Australia. Dr Matsumoto joined Bond University as a Master of Arts student in Applied Linguistics. After the completion of his degree, he started his doctoral research studies on the topic of the persistence in Japanese language study at universities in Australia. He completed his PhD at the University of South Australia and continues to study student motivation and successful second language acquisition. Dr Matsumoto lectures in Nature of Language and Second Language and Learners at Bond.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND GLOBAL STUDIES AMBITION ON A GLOBAL SCALE Whether your ambitions lie in investigating new markets in Asia for an expanding Australian business, negotiating trade deals in South Africa for a multi-national corporation, working for an aid agency in Latin America, writing international policies for a government minister, or representing your country as an embassy diplomat; an International Relations degree from Bond University can help put your career on the map. Knowing a region’s specific cultural traditions, being aware of their foreign policies, trade agreements, government systems and the like can help ensure successful relationship building between nations, whether you are engaged in a business, legal, diplomatic or media capacity. With the advancement of technology and the emergence of new markets, our world is getting smaller, making it imperative to understand what is happening both in Australia and overseas. International Relations at Bond focuses on the key areas of international politics, economics, socio-cultural orientation and military relations, providing a well rounded knowledge base for those wanting to make their mark in the international arena.
Global Studies (Sustainability) at Bond is founded on the growing relevance of sustainability to business, government and community, integrating economic, social and environmental perspectives. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the complex challenges of global sustainability, it provides students with an understanding of the concepts as well as the tools across planning, problem solving, diplomacy and decision making relevant to professional practice. The study of international relations can be applied to many different areas depending on majors undertaken, degree combinations and other discipline components built in to the International Relations degree. Graduates from Global Studies or International Relations could expect to find employment in fields like foreign affairs, diplomacy, trade, defence, international business and media.

CRIMINOLOGY WHAT GOES THROUGH THE MIND OF A CRIMINAL? What motivates the criminal mind? Why do some people commit crimes and others become victims of them? Why are the innocent sometimes convicted and the guilty sometimes set free? Why is one house burgled and another left untouched? Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminals and victims of crime, drawing upon disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, sociology, political science and law. Criminologists work in a range of areas and in many different crime related settings: from constructing a likely profile of a perpetrator or sifting through case files to uncover where the justice system may have failed, through to working with organisations such as major retailers, night clubs and insurance companies to reduce their exposure to crime.
There are two main streams of criminology in Australia. The first is the scientific study of crime – criminals and victims. The second is more structured and involves the study of the criminal justice system - its policies, programs, police, courts and prisons. Graduates from the field of Criminology at Bond may expect to find employment within state or federal agencies, law enforcement, crime research, in community welfare organisations or as consultants in private organisations.
CRIMINOLOGY RESEARCH STUDENT PIONEERS FIRST AUSTRALIAN STUDY INTO VIOLENCE AGAINST BUS DRIVERS. Bond University is leading an Australian-first research project to address the issue of violence on buses, with a number of incidents recently coming to light. The $100,000 project, supported by the Enterprise Connect Researchers in Business program, will see the University working closely with the Transport Workers Union (TWU), Surfside Buslines, Queensland Bus Industry Council, and TransLink to streamline the reporting of incidents with the ultimate goal of improving design features to increase bus driver safety, customer satisfaction and industry efficiencies. Researchers in Business is an Australian Government initiative providing funding of up to $50,000 in matched funding to support the placement of researchers directly into businesses such as Surfside Buslines. Criminology researcher Yolande Huntingdon, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Robyn Lincoln, will collect and analyse data to look at the frequency and nature of violence towards bus drivers with the aim of shedding some light on the prevalence of the problem.

PSYCHOLOGY HUMAN BEHAVIOUR AND THOUGHT Psychology is an exciting and diverse field of study dedicated to understanding, describing, predicting and controlling the causes of behaviour and thought. Students who undertake their education in Psychology at Bond are able to pursue a sequence of study that leads to full registration as a Psychologist, and qualifications up to doctoral level. The Department of Psychology at Bond University is a centre of excellence in psychological teaching and research. Our academic staff are known for their expertise and enthusiasm for teaching and learning, and our small class sizes and interactive teaching methods enable students to optimise their learning because they receive a high level of personal tuition and support. The Bachelor of Psychological Science, provides students with an understanding of normal psychological processes such as perception, memory, learning, motivation, psychobiology, personality, emotion, developmental psychology and social relationships, as well as training in abnormal psychology and diagnosis. Many students who complete an undergraduate degree in Psychology apply to undertake a Fourth Year program, such as the Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) or the Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science. Fourth Year studies are needed to satisfy the minimum academic requirements for provisional registration as a Psychologist in Australia.
