Bond University

Australia is one of the most cultural countries in the world. In Australia’s wonderful Coastal cities, you will love the clean, safe environment where people give a warm and friendly welcoming.

Take time to visit some of the world’s natural wonders: Learn to dive at the wonderful Barrier Reef, see the sunset at Uluru (Ayers Rock), hike in the rainforest, listen to Aborigines tell dream stories in Kakadu national park, see the panorama view of Sydney Harbour from the top of Harbour Bridge or sail along the river in South West Tasmania – the list is never ending.

Bond University campus is located on the Gold Coast on Australias East Coast, one hour south of Brisbane by car in the state of Queensland. While living here you will have the best of two worlds: All the modern comforts, entertainment and excitement of city life combined with the calm life style of internationally known beach resorts.

There is a strong youth culture, where you will meet students from all over Australia and the world. Together, you can discover the amazing night life, beaches, beach bars, theme parks, national parks and much more.

When it comes to business, you will find a diverse range of industries along the Gold Coast. Among them are global organizations with plenty of relevant internship and job opportunities, which further enriches Bond’s established network with local employers.
