The Gold Coast: Australia's favourite classroom

Meet a Bond student

Usman Khawaja — Australian test cricketer and Bond student

"Doing an MBA at Bond University, for me, is about opportunity. I know I play cricket right now, but cricket doesn't last forever. 

Bond were standouts straight away. They were willing to work with me and willing to help me out, but at the same time, Bond had their own way of doing things. I respect their principles and respect the way they do things. It’s very different to the norm, or to the major universities and I really love that about Bond. It is a place where I could be myself but also a place where I could get really sharp, detailed attention for what I wanted to achieve.

When I first went to university as a youngster, I just felt like I was a little piece in a cog. I was just getting a degree and going through the motions. Where now at Bond, I actually feel like an individual who is connected with the university and with the lecturers."
