Australia Study Center
Bond University offers a personalized academic
environment with access to unparalleled academic and
technological resources. At Bond students thrive in smaller
study groups where eminent professors and
industry-experienced lecturers know them by name. By
undertaking three-semesters-per-year instead of the usual
two; graduates finish their studies sooner.
Lecture theatres, case study rooms
and tutorial rooms are conveniently located in the
University Centre building. Several student restaurants,
cafes and bars circle the lake; and on-campus accommodation
is within easy walking distance of all university
faculties. The study facilities here are world-class,
incorporating high-tech lecture theatres, the latest
broadband and wi-fi computer connections, and libraries that
are ranked among Australia’s best.
Complementing these academic
features, you’ll find a comprehensive selection of
recreational and social outlets that encourage interaction
between students outside the classroom. Our former students
will tell you that one of the best things about studying at
Bond is the social life. With a much smaller number of
students than other universities, no-one gets lost in the
crowd.
