The Australian Financial Review Best Universities Ranking evaluated Bond’s performance in five pillars: student satisfaction (1st), research performance (38th), global reputation (30th), career impact (26th), and equity and access (28th).

The top 12 universities were The University of Queensland, University of NSW, The Australian National University, Monash University, The University of Adelaide, Edith Cowan University, Deakin University, The University of Melbourne, University of Technology Sydney, University of Wollongong, The University of South Australia and Bond University.

Bond has performed well in several national and international rankings recently, including:

The new AFR ranking used public data from the federal government on equity, student satisfaction, research and career outcomes.

It also used international websites on research publications as well as reputation ratings from the Academic Ranking of World Universities, Times Higher Education and QS World University Rankings.
