What our students say

Attending classes on campus for eight days every semester allowed me the opportunity to get to know others as well as fully immerse myself in the learning experience with no distractions. This is the only way I could have accomplished that amount of work in that time. Bond stays relevant to student needs and that's incredibly important for me, given the ever-changing landscape we find ourselves in. It's one of the main reasons I returned to Bond to undertake my Master of Laws in Enterprise Governance. Bond gave me a tremendous opportunity to validate the years of experience and knowledge I had acquired in commercial organisations over the previous two decades.

"[Bond's EMBA] enables me to have much higher conversations in the industry…and start seeing where we can make change, and how we can influence and think outside the square…The guys that went to uni and expanded their mind and worked elsewhere… will always do well because they understand the market and they understand how business works.”

"My work schedule is demanding, but with the way the program is structured, combined with the support from the faculty, I was able to complete the EMBA without it interfering with my work."

“The insight you get from a study tour is something you just can’t learn from reading a textbook or sitting in a classroom. The amount I learnt in one week in Silicon Valley was amazing and I’m still thinking about how I can apply the knowledge and information I gained.”
