Hear from our Bondies

  • I chose to study a Master of Business Data Analytics at Bond as I was looking for a degree that incorporates data within a business context, and I wanted to further my existing skills in these areas. A key selling point was the high diversity and small class sizes of Bond, which I knew I would thrive in. The small class sizes allow for students to make one-on-one relationships with professors in which we learn tools for life, not just for the classroom. I especially enjoyed connecting with people from different backgrounds and nationalities which was fostered through the small class sizes.
