Hear from our Bondies

  • "Whilst studying I interned as a Journalist at the Gold Coast Bulletin for three months. I enjoyed my time at Bond and thank my professors for always treating me as a person, rather than a number - which often happens at large universities. I recommend undertaking this well-rounded degree at Bond - I did some French and law subjects and found they gave me a bit of edge in job interviews, and my studies have helped me get to where I am today."

    Deanna Nott - Bachelor of Arts Alumna
  • Humanities and Global Studies
