In 2008, Bond University earned the prestigious title of ‘Australia’s Highest Rated University’ by achieving the most five-star ratings in the 2008 Good Universities Guide. Success for Bond graduates is evident with the University achieving a five-star rating in key areas as ‘Graduate Starting Salary’, ‘Getting a Job’ and ‘Positive Graduate Outcomes’.
Bond offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Law; Business (including MBA); IT; Sustainable Development; Hotel, Resort and Tourism Management; Health Science and Medicine (including Physiotherapy); and Humanities and Social Science (including Film and Television, Communication and Journalism).

Bond’s personalised approach to education combined with its uncompromising focus on industry relevance sets Bond University apart from every other Australian university. Students thrive in smaller study groups where prominent professors and industry experienced lecturers know them by name due to the small staff to student ratio (1:12).
Students at Bond graduate up to 12 months ahead of their peers by studying three semesters per year instead of the usual two. Thereby gaining a vital advantage in the ultra competitive careers market and saving on living expenses.
