Do I need to get approval from my home university?
Yes you do – but it’s easy. Once you have chosen your four Semester Abroad subjects from the lists above, we will send you the course material for each one. You then need to present this to the Program Advisor or the Study Abroad office at your school so they can pre-approve your Bond classes before you leave home.
-
Will my Bond classes count towards my degree?
When you return, we will send the transcript for each of your classes to your School Registrar so you can get credit for the subjects you have passed at Bond.
