Hear from our Bondies

  • My initial impression of Bond was the beautiful campus and the friendly environment. I was particularly drawn to the world class professors that I would be learning from. What sets Bond apart from other universities is the unique social opportunities as well as the practical experiences available. Upon completion of my undergraduate degree, I wish to undertake a Master of Financial Management and seek employment within the finance industry.

    Esther Xu - Bachelor of Commerce

  • Our classes are unique for more than our intimate class sizes and world-class trading room facilities. Our finance subjects are filled with real world experiences including business cases, role plays, simulations and the development of wealth management plans, trading strategies, valuation models and investment portfolios. You will gain hands-on experience applying both theory and skills to a stream of interesting business problems and that will give you an edge in a very competitive job market.
