Bond University is Australia’s leading independent, not-for-profit university, located on the stunning Gold Coast, Queensland. Bond offers a personalised academic environment that prepares students for success in their future careers, goals and endeavours.
Bond students learn in world-class facilities from world-renowned academics in smaller class sizes that allow our academics to be mentors, not just teachers. In addition, students at Bond are prepared for the global workforce by gaining international experience during their degrees, inside and outside of the classroom.
Bond programs take a worldview on teaching, and students have international opportunities from clinical placements in the Solomon Islands to Model UN competitions in Japan. By undertaking three semesters per year instead of the traditional two, students complete their degrees earlier than their peers from other universities, both in Australia and worldwide. A degree from Bond is not only an investment in your future; it’s an investment in lifelong friendships, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and worldwide connections.

The Bond University campus features a series of Faculty sandstone buildings centred around man-made Lake Orr. The campus was conceived and developed by master planner Daryl Jackson of Jackson Architecture with significant input from Queensland architect Robin Gibson. The signature arch building was designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki.
Students at Bond University have access to a number of academic, technological and recreational facilities.
