Harsimran Singh from India shares why he loved studying at Bond University.

To the students who are considering remote study, my advice would be to go for it and don't be scared or feel apprehensive. The educators are well-equipped with the pays equally attention to both online and offline students. They respond to every question asked, whether its asked by remote or on-campus students. The teachers also make sure that the sessions are recorded properly so students who are not able to attend classes because of different time zones or need to revised again can watch it at a time that suits them.
Beyond classes, I have received lots of support from the University. Different types of workshops are conducted to improve skills on different platforms and with software. My lecturers and tutors are always available whenever i want to ask any questions, they are just an email away.

The remote learning experience is beyond what I had expected. I had my doubts about learning remotely but the kind of resources that are available make it a wonderful experience to learn online. It doesn't feel like I am missing out on anything. I have definitely received a lot of support from my professors; they are very helpful and always ready to answer all my questions. For students considering starting their studies remotely, I'd say go for it. At Bond it's a great experience and you get to learn a lot.

I am in my first semester at Bond. I am studying remotely from the comfort of my home. My experience studying remotely has been very good as the online study portal has everything one needs for the course and more.The professors are very friendly, supportive and understanding. I like the teaching here because it is more practical based than theory based. All my fellow classmates are very smart and I am learning a lot from everyone I have spoken to. I am very excited to join everyone else on campus and participate in different activities happening on campus. I can understand why Bond is ranked number 1 for student experience.

Considering the fact that I am a remote student, the university has made sure remote students don’t miss out on anything despite not being onshore. The teaching is extremely practical-oriented, they teach theory alongside practical components making the students more ready for the industry. Teachers at Bond are extremely approachable so never think twice before emailing them.

The personal attention given to every student, even if studying remotely, sets Bond apart from other universities. The teachers and staff are so helpful and I have still been able to participate in lab classes and examinations online. If you have the opportunity to study at Bond University, then grab it!
