Bond’s personalised approach to education combined with its uncompromising focus on industry relevance sets it apart from every other Australian university.

Founded in 1987, Bond — Australia’s first private, not for profit, independent university — is located on Queensland’s Gold Coast, a vibrant city set between the picturesque mountains of a rich hinterland and some of Australia’s finest surfing beaches.

We emphasise instruction in small groups by highly-qualified staff committed to quality in teaching. Our smaller classes enable students to receive more individualised instruction and personal assistance with their work. Smaller student numbers provide more access to facilities for individual students.

And by undertaking three-semesters-per-year instead of the usual two, students complete their degree studies twelve months or more before their colleagues from other universities, thereby gaining a vital advantage in the ultra-competitive careers market.
