Everyone has expectations for their future…

And success means different things to different people.

Some are happy to live from day to day.

Others – like yourself – want much more.

You think bigger. You want to move faster.

You want to go further.

You’re determined to achieve something extraordinary.

At Bond University, we recognise your passion and

fast-track your progress.

BOND UNIVERSITY.

WE SHARE YOUR AMBITION.

WE BRING IT TO LIFE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE

Your future. It starts here. It starts now.

In today’s ultra-competitive workplace, choosing the right university is absolutely vital to

your future career.

No matter which field you’re interested in, your potential employers will know each

institution by its reputation and will give preference to stand-out applicants who offer

something more.

Bond University’s reputation in the workplace is built on a unique formula that combines

academic qualifications with workplace experience, industry contacts and leadership skills

training.

As a result, our graduates are actively recruited by major national and multinational

organisations and fast-tracked through early career promotions.

With Bond’s help, there’s no limit to where your university degree can take you:

David Baxby graduated with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Commerce in 1994. He’s

now the Managing Partner of Virgin’s Global Aviation Investments, reporting directly to

Richard Branson.

Kate Vidgen graduated with a double degree in Arts and Law in 1994. At just 35 years of

age, she was made an Executive Director of the Investment Banking Group at Macquarie

Bank, transacting multi-billion dollar deals.

After completing a Bachelor of Exercise Science in just two years, Nick Pfeffer was

recruited to London Bridge Hospital as a cardiac physiologist.

And within months of completing her studies in journalism and international relations,

Karin Isdahl was jetting around the world, filing stories from Norway, Singapore and Latin

America for CNBC World Business.

So where do you think you could be in five years’ time?

If your ambition is to reach the heights of your chosen profession – to be the very best that

you can be – then, like David, Kate, Nick, Karin and countless others, Bond University can be

your passport to an extraordinary life.

From a student perspective, Bond University stands alone.

There is no university in Australia that rates higher for overall

graduate satisfaction. The reason why? Well, actually there are

ten of them, which all add up to a far better university experience

and outcome for you, regardless of which field of study you choose.

We call it the ‘Bond Factor’, which basically translates to the

‘What’s in it for Me Factor’ - something you should always take

into account, whichever university you are considering.

Some undergraduate degrees are slightly longer, such as the Bachelor of Laws (32 subjects – eight semesters).

UNIVERSITY CORE SUBJECTSAt Bond University, we recognise that people have many careers throughout their lives where they require the soft skills to problem-solve and apply their education to a variety of occupations. As a result, in every undergraduate degree, students must complete the four University Core subjects:

Communication SkillsYour choice of one of the following: • Communication Skills• Public Speaking: Presentation Skills for Leaders

Outcomes: To communicate effectively in writing, speaking and visual modes; to understand the nature of communication processes and the sources of difficulty in communication.

ELECTIVE SUBJECTSSome degrees also allow students to choose elective subjects, either from the Faculty in question or from any other Faculty in the University.

MAJORS / SPECIALISATIONSA major is a grouping of subjects (usually six) in a particular discipline that allows students to focus on a specialisation. Some degree programs also allow for a double major comprising 12 subjects in a given discipline.

DEGREE OPTIONSBond University schedules three full semesters per year, allowing students to complete their studies much earlier than at other universities. For instance, a standard 24-subject Bachelor’s degree that takes three years with the normal two-semesters-per-year timetable, can be completed in only two years at Bond.

This accelerated study mode, combined with the flexibility of our cross-Faculty subject offerings, gives students the opportunity to tailor their degree studies to suit specific career goals or enhance their employability by adding extra qualifications.

DOUBLE DEGREESBond University offers a range of double degrees and combined degrees. Applicants may apply for the following combined degrees:• Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws• Bachelor of Biomedical Science / Bachelor of Laws • Bachelor of Business / Bachelor of Commerce • Bachelor of Business / Bachelor of Information

HONOURS DEGREESAn Honours degree is usually two or three semesters of coursework, seminars and supervised research taken after a Bachelor’s degree. It advances students’ knowledge and experience and helps prepare them for future research work and higher degree programs. A high level of achievement in an undergraduate course is a pre-requisite of entry into an Honours degree program. Honours degrees are available in selected programs within the Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Law.** Outstanding Law graduates may qualify to receive their degree with

Honours. Refer to page 77 for more details.

HIGHER LEVEL DEGREESBond’s fast-tracked timetable enables students to complete most Bachelor’s degrees in two years and a Master’s degree in one year, delivering higher level qualifications in the same time that students at most other universities will take to complete a Bachelor degree.

EXERCISE SCIENCE & SPORTS SCIENCEEXERCISE IS THE NEW MEDICINEExercise Science focuses on the prescription of exercise to treat or prevent disease. For example, a research project, STEP FORWARD is currently underway in the Faculty, testing the optimal level of exercise for older women. These findings will be used as a preventative and health promotion intervention strategy provided to older women to achieve positive health benefits.

Sports Science focuses on high performance athletes and the processes to achieve greater results. For example, sports scientists use GPS systems strapped to professional athletes such as rugby players to track their movements and physiological responses, such as heart rate, during games. This information can then be used to design individual training programs for players based on their on-field requirements and current performance levels.

HEALTH COVEROSHC charge is an Australian Government requirement for all international students and their dependents, and needs to be paid prior to visa issue. OSHC Worldcare is the preferred provider for international students at Bond University. They offer excellent incentives if you purchase cover for the length of your student visa, such as discounts and protection against future rate rises. Please note that the Australian Government requires students to be covered for the length of the visa.

OSHC assists towards the costs of fees for doctors, surgery, shared hospital ward accommodation, emergency ambulance transport and some other medical services. You can opt to pay a higher level of private medical health insurance. This will give you extra cover for the cost of services such as optical treatment, physiotherapy and private hospital treatment with a doctor of your choice.

In some circumstances, Norwegian and Swedish students are exempt from OSHC. Please check with your local representatives.

OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVER (OSHC)* Single FamilyUp to 3 months AUD$98 AUD$196Up to 6 months AUD$195 AUD$390Up to 9 months AUD$293 AUD$586Up to 12 months AUD$390 AUD$780

PART-TIME WORKAustralian Government regulations permit international students to work up to 20 hours a week, and full-time during semester breaks. Please note, you cannot commence work until you commence your degree program in Australia. As work can’t be guaranteed, it should be viewed as a supplementary source of funds only and not relied on to cover tuition or living costs
