Hear from our Bondies

  • Film and Television

    "All our degrees are intensely practical, hands-on, and project-based, which encourages students to deeply immerse themselves in a total educational and creative experience. Our programs carefully balance industry standard professional production techniques with carefully selected creative practice theory, which enables students to explore and develop their individual creativity and personal talents in small crew environments."

    Dr Michael Sergi - Associate Professor

  • "I highly recommend studying at Bond due to the world-class facilities and opportunities to meet people from all around the world. My job is to seamlessly integrate real life footage (usually of actors) into different scenarios, as well as digitally polishing up any given image to a presentable film-production quality. Bond helped to prepare me for these responsibilities as I was forced to find out what my personal strengths and weaknesses are, which have allowed me to push for what I am good at."
