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.

Outcome = income Australia’s best graduate outcomes

Bond University is not-for-profit. What this means is that the only

outcome we’re driven by is your success. 100% of your investment goes

into providing the best personalised education for you, ensuring you are

better prepared for career progression and future income maximisation.

The Good Universities Guide acknowledges the value of Bond’s

personalised approach, awarding the maximum five stars for our starting

salaries, getting a job and graduate outcomes.

Celebrating its 21st anniversary, Bond Law remains true to its founding objectives to offer a unique

and innovative legal education that is industry aligned and produces highly motivated, work ready

graduates. Bond Law has forged an international reputation for its innovative teaching methods,

internationally-focused skills training and the outstanding success of its graduates.

In the Graduate Destination Survey conducted by Graduate Careers Australia, these graduates have

consistently rated Bond Law No. 1 in terms of student satisfaction, acknowledging its strengths in

corporate and commercial law, international law, dispute resolution and negotiation, and a depth of

knowledge and experience in a range of boutique elective law subjects.

From Shanghai to New York, Bond Law alumni can be found in premier legal firms, while others act

as chief legal counsel for Fortune 500 companies, or apply their knowledge of the law to merchant

banking and other corporate enterprises.

A key factor in the Faculty’s high standing is the academic and industry experience offered by some

of Australia’s most eminent law professors, lecturers and legal specialists who have tailored teaching

systems specifically designed to prepare graduates for careers in all areas of the legal profession,

including business, industry and government.

Bond Law’s Legal Skills program integrates legal skills into both the undergraduate and postgraduate

curricula. The Faculty continues to demonstrate its commitment to personalised education through

limiting tutorials to twelve students or under, ensuring each person benefits from individual attention.

Bond University’s accelerated three semesters per year timetable allows

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTUREYour university degree is one of the most important investments you will make in your lifetime. As with all investments, you must consider the rate of return of both the short-term career opportunities and your long-term lifetime earnings.

For our high-flying alumni, their Bond University degree has opened the doors to exceptional career opportunities with blue-chip employers and global corporations, both here in Australia and around the world.

By graduating up to a year earlier, Bond graduates are out in the workplace, earning higher starting salaries* sooner.

This career head-start puts them on the promotional fast-track and many have achieved director, CEO, private practice and partnership status within ten years of graduating from Bond.

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.
