Shining a spotlight on 2022
Bond faced 2022 with optimism, energy, and determination. In a world that continues to change rapidly, the year saw Bond University sustain our success by evolving, developing, and adapting to the given circumstances.
We continued to operate seamlessly and safely through our dedication to personalised learning excellence, offering flexible delivery of our programs and prioritising communication to staff, students, partners, and communities. We proudly launched the new Brisbane Centre in May, allowing the University to deliver its world-class education to Brisbane-based professionals in their own city.
It was also a year that Bond excelled in on the global stage, as the University was ranked in the top 250-300 bracket by the prestigious Times Higher Education Global Rankings, known as THE rankings. In the 2023 Good Universities Guide, Bond was awarded a five-star rating in the student experience categories with respect to student to teacher ratios, learner engagement, learning resources, overall quality of educational experience, skills development, student support and teaching quality.
We completed another challenging year by being prepared, managing uncertainty, embracing change – and looking forward to the year ahead.
