We also have a number of visiting professors from all over the world who bring an international perspective to our teaching.

 

Time Required to Complete your Degree

As a year round school, most Graduate Programs at Bond are completed in 3 semesters (1 year). The Juris Doctor (JD) and Psychology programs require 6 semesters (2 years).

 

Semester Dates

Bond has 3 intakes per year - September, January and May. To see the exact dates, refer to About Bond | Semester Dates.

 

Student & Work Visa

As when traveling to many countries, you need to seek permission from that country to stay for extended periods of time. Accordingly, you will require a student visa to study at Bond. A Student Visa may only be applied for once you are accepted to study at Bond University and you have received your Confirmation of Enrollment. Don't sweat it though. We guide you through this process and make it pain free. It can take up to 6 weeks (but is often much shorter) to get your Visa so getting your application to us ASAP means we can get everything done in time.

 

Your student visa also permits you to work in Australia once you have commenced your program at Bond. The work visa allows you to work up to 20 hours per week. Dependents of students who have commenced a Masters or PhD level program are able to work unlimited hours.

 

 

Using your Bond degree IN NORTH AMERICA

For the USA, there is an arrangement between the Australian Government and the US Government for reciprocal degree recognition. This means a USA degree can be used in Australia, and an Australian university degree can be used in the USA. This arrangement was further reinforced by its inclusion in the 2004 Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the USA. For specialist industries, each state in the USA has it's own requirements and it is worth investigating with the governing body of your specialist profession to learn the additional requirements for foreign degrees.

Accounting
Australia has signed a mutual recognition agreement (MRA) with the United States in regard to accounting degrees. This agreement allows those who graduate with an accounting degree from Australia and complete the CPA program, to apply for employment in 39 US states without any additional requirements.

Law - USA
Graduates with an Australian law qualification who have been admitted to practice in Australia may be eligible to sit for the bar examinations and obtain admission in some American states. Admission in these states is controlled by local state bar associations and the state supreme courts. Information about admission requirements for foreign law degrees is available through the American Bar Association website at
www.abanet.org.

Most foreign educated lawyers seek admission in California or New York and then do an inter-state transfer (if they wish to practice in another state). Bond is already an approved Law Program for the New York State Bar. The rules in these jurisdictions should be examined carefully to determine whether you satisfy the requirements. You should review these regularly as they are subject to change. The Bond Law School has no control over admission rules.

 

Law - Canada

To practice law in Canada, you will need to complete a Canadian bar admissions course. To be eligible for this course in any of the common law provinces (excluding Quebec), you will need a Certificate of Qualification from the National Accreditation Committee (the ‘NCA’) of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. The certificate will state that you have education and training equivalent to that of a Canadian law graduate. Application is made to the NCA at the end of your degree at Bond. The NCA will review your record and prescribe a number of examinations in Canadian law. There are two ways of taking these examinations. 1. You may seek admission to a Canadian law school for this purpose. 2. You may take ‘challenge exams’ set by the NCA.

 

Medicine
The Bond University Medical Program has been accredited by the Australian  Medical Council. This is a rigorous assessment process, and only medical  programs which meet or exceed the required standards are approved. It means  graduates are eligible for registration as a medical practitioner in any State or Territory of Australia. This does not extend a graduate automatic reciprocity of recognition of their qualification in the USA. Graduates should ascertain what the respective registration requirements are.

 

Bond alumni are presently employed in high profile companies in many countries around the world. Some of the companies that seek Bond students are:

Goldman Sachs - Virgin Group - KPMG  - Accenture  - Warner Brothers - Village Roadshow  - HP Compaq - Sun Micro Systems - Oracle & Cisco Systems   - Credit Suisse First Boston - PriceWaterhouseCoopers  - ANET/Access US Internet Service Provider - Cartwright, Sloboded, Bockelman, Bodowski & Moore - Davis Polk & Wardwell Full Service Beverage - Gagosian Gallery  - Healthtech Rehabilitation Inc - International Telecomm Satellite Org - Jalan Technology - Shearman & Sterling - Sidley & Austin  - Paul Weiss Rifkin Wharton & Garrison
