If you’re thinking about completing your full degree abroad, there's no better place in Australia than Bond University. Experience Bond's five-star rated education with the world-renowned sun, surf and sand lifestyle of Queensland’s Gold Coast.
Bond aligns with the United States academic calendar - start your degree in September, January or May.
The Gold Coast is the dream destination of many US students: the perfect combination of surf, sun and sky. However, not everything is beaches – we also have many startups and companies, and an interesting cultural offer. Despite recent growth, the Gold Coast retains its small-town feel and is significantly cheaper to live in compared to other cities like Sydney and Melbourne.
Bond University has been ranked #1 in Australia for student experience for 17 years in a row, which only proves our commitment to ensuring your time at university is unforgettable. With an array of opportunities available to every student, from sports to associations, exchange and more, you’ll never be short of things to do. Our exceptional student experience translates to the classroom, too, where we have a 10:1 student to teacher ratio that enables supportive relationships with your teachers.
Where most undergraduate degrees in the United States can take four years to complete, you’ll gain a bachelor’s qualification from Bond in just two, due to our accelerated, three-semester-per-year timetable. Postgraduate students will benefit from our 92-week professional master’s programs, which combine accelerated studies with a 20-week work experience component designed to give you the right skills to take on the Australian career landscape – and potentially qualify you for a post-study work visa.
Employability is at the core of the Bond experience. Through our Career Development Centre we offer career support tailored to you and your unique aspirations, including assistance with writing your resume, finding and applying to internships or work experience, and connecting with employers. We also enhance your employability by providing extensive industry engagement opportunities, such as professional networking events and mentoring, designed to build your skills ahead of entering the workplace.
