  • "I chose Bond University because the fast-tracked schedule allows me to complete my degree earlier. As an international student, I was worried about my coursework, grades, language barriers and cultural differences. Fortunately, Bond provides services to support and maximise the student experience, and I now feel at home studying on the Gold Coast. I hope to secure an accountancy job once I have graduated and become a fully qualified Charted Accountant."
