What our students say
Alexander Salat
“I studied at Bond for one year doing my Master of Business focusing on strategic management and organisational behaviour. Everything at Bond was beautiful. What I loved most was the quality of teaching and small student classes which ensures you get to know everyone and build your network. This is something you simply cannot find at other universities”.

Candy Tsoi
"I chose Bond because of the range of big data subjects available. There are so many opportunities outside of my standard subjects so I am really making the most of my time here. I am currently undertaking an internship in the Enterprise Data and Analytics office at CUA, Brisbane. When I graduate I want to combine my accounting background with newly acquired data analytic skills and hope to be a Data Analyst in an internal audit department."
