What our students say
Tye Brozak
"After graduating from John Paul College, Brisbane in 2008, I decided I needed a university qualification if I ever wanted to be in a Senior Management position. My goal when starting at Bond University was to become a Hotel Manager by the time I turned 30 years old and have been fortunate enough to achieve this at the age of 27. Bond helped me achieve the success I have today and gave me the knowledge, skills and ability to confidently pursue my future successes. The small class sizes allowed academics to provide a personalised approach in their teaching methods which has led to lifelong relationships."

“As a Bond student, I was able to have fantastic relationships with my teachers who were also industry professionals before becoming teachers at Bond. You receive lots of industry advice and networking opportunities before graduating. I chose Bond to study Hotel and Tourism due to its location. The Gold Coast is such a large tourism hub of Australia so there were plenty of opportunities to work in the industry part time and study at Bond."

"Every aspect of campus life attracted me; the clubs, the support, small class sizes and the campus itself. The ability to fast track my degree was another reason I chose Bond. And it definitely lived up to all my expectations! I will be a university graduate at 19 years of age, having been mentored by world-leading academics and undertaken real-life work experience. A degree from Bond isn’t just another degree. It really will set you up for the real world in many ways and you’ll create unforgettable memories while you’re here."
