Students can choose to participate in an international exchange program, with the opportunity to study relevant subjects at some of the world’s leading universities throughout Asia, Europe and North America. Bond also welcomes students from its partner institutions who wish to study in Australia for a semester through the Study Abroad program.
The University offers over 300 internationally recognised undergraduate and postgraduate degrees across its Faculties of Law, Society & Design, Health Sciences & Medicine and Bond Business School.

All students have access to state-of-the-art facilities on Bond’s 50-hectare Gold Coast campus in south-east Queensland, including e-courtrooms modelled on the High Court of Australia, the technology-rich Multimedia Learning Centre, the Bond Institute of Health and Sport and the Macquarie Trading Room.
Bond’s Career Development Centre works with students to create an individual career pathway and employment outcomes are enhanced through the Beyond Bond program incorporated into every undergraduate degree which develops key employability skills.
