With around 5,000 students Bond University is small by Australian standards: it’s perfect if you are looking to study abroad in a highly supportive environment on a small, modern campus with small, focused classes. It’s also located just 30 minutes by bike from the stunning beaches of Australia’s Gold Coast!
Bond, a private university, has three full trimesters, mirroring the US academic calendar and giving you the flexibility to study in Australia without missing the opportunity for a summer internship or job back home. Courses are available in business, communications, law, IT, humanities, sports management, psychology and the health sciences, many with a specific focus on Australia. The Faculty of Business is AACSB accredited.
Outside the classroom you'll find that Bond's location on the Gold Coast is ideal for exploring the environment that makes Australia so unique. Beaches, temperate rain-forests and Brisbane, with its 1.7 million people, are all within easy reach by bus.
Thank you, Australia, for what has been the most eye-opening four months of my life. I will never forget the experiences, the memories, and most of all, the growth that I’ve made here. I’ll never forget the people I’ve met and the amazing friends I’ve made here. The Gold Coast and Australia has stolen a piece of my heart, and honestly, I don’t think I want it back; Australia’s given me so much more than I could have ever imagined beyond my wildest dreams. ”
