Real World Faculty
Bond’s
unbeatable edge is its genuine commitment to
the individual. Studying in small classes,
you’ll have one-on-one access to some of
world's leading academics who mentor each
student through an open door policy.
Bond's
professors, lecturers and guest speakers are
internationally renowned for their unique
blend of high-level academic qualifications
and real-life practical experience
consulting to major corporations worldwide.
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
Because Australia (and most
other countries outside of the USA) does not
require the 2 years of General Education
(you go straight to your major right out of
12th grade), you can complete your Bachelors
degree in as little as 2 years (or law in
just under 3 years or medicine in just under
5 years). Also, Bond is a year round
school (other Australian universities take 3
years to complete a Bachelors Degree).
This means completing your
degree in half the time for half the cost.
And the good news, under the Free Trade
Agreement between the USA and Australia, a 2
year degree from Australia is equivalent to
a 4 year degree from the USA.
Completing an Bachelors Degree in this time
frame provides some serious advantages to
your career including a 2 year head start on
earning an income and accelerated career
development. Of course, not paying an
additional 2 years of tuition and living
expenses provides significant financial
benefit.
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) up to 20 hours
per week.
The visa will allow you to enter Australia 3
months before your program begins and will
expire 2 months after your program is
complete.
JOBS & INTERNSHIPS while
studying
There are resources on
campus (Career Development Centre) and off
campus (including
www.Seek.com.au and
www.GoldCoast.com.au ) for
finding jobs or unpaid jobs
(internships) whilst studying on the Gold
Coast. There are many jobs in hospitality
(restaurant, cafe, bar etc) on the Gold
Coast so if you have experience in these,
you will likely find part time work.
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.
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. With a Law degree
from Bond, these exams may be as few as 2.
The NCA is now requiring just four Canadian
law exams from most Australian graduates:
Constitutional Law, Criminal Law,
Administrative Law and Foundations of
Canadian Law. Bond offers classes in 3 of
the 4 requirements: Canadian Constitutional
Law, Criminal Law and Canadian
Administrative Law.
This leaves just one exam to be completed in
Canada by Bond University Law graduates.
However, we are soon introducing the final
class, Foundations of Canadian Law. Once
this happens, Canadians will be able to
complete all their Canadian law requirements
at Bond University.
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

Entry Requirements for North American
Students
Each application is assessed on an
individual basis. A number of factors,
including high school, college studies and
work experience (for mature age students)
are considered.
USA Students: If you are a high
school senior or graduate you need to
provide an SAT score of 1650 (for
Critical Reading, Math and Writing), or an ACT score greater than 24.
Law program (LLB) applicants require an SAT
of 2040 or an ACT of 31.
Your high school
transcripts will also be required.
If you have started college (and completed
at least 1 quarter/semester), we only need
your college transcripts
and do not need an SAT/ACT or high school
transcripts..
Law students are not
required to take the LSATs.
Canadian Students: Provincial High
School Diploma or Ontario Secondary School
Diploma + 5 OAC subjects (minimum 65%
average).
Financial Aid & Scholarships
