Our world is rapidly evolving — whether it’s technologically, societally, environmentally, scientifically, or in another arena entirely. As global citizens, we’re inextricably linked to what is happening in our own backyard, and halfway across the world. If you want to have a say in the current topics dominating global consciousness then studying international relations, politics or arts could be your calling.
International relations explores the fascinating interconnected web of international relationships and the factors that shape them such as politics, ideologies, diplomacy, governance, war and peace, security, and climate change. A strong foundation in politics or global studies from Bond University will prepare you for a career in public governance, public leadership, and ultimately, public influence.
Are you interested in studying the arts? You can select from a wide range of study options including philosophy, languages and cultures, and Australian studies. At the postgraduate level, you can also learn how to become an English teacher and engage with students from all over the world.
Whichever program you choose, you will gain the adaptable, multidisciplinary skill set required to prepare you for the fast-paced, global demands of the 21st century.

The Faculty of Society and Design offers a platform for internationally recognised research into an eclectic portfolio of disciplines that relate directly to who we are and how we live as a society. In particular the Cultural Futures research group brings together researchers in international relations, history, languages and philosophy to examine the crucial role these cultural disciplines play in preparing for a radically transformed future.
"Moving across the country to study at Bond seemed scary at first but it has taught me things about myself I wouldn’t otherwise have learnt. I travelled to Japan to represent Bond at the Japan-English Model United Nations held at Kindai University. We attended the Australian Embassy in Tokyo, met the Counsellor for Public Affairs, and I was awarded the Diplomacy Award for my efforts representing Mexico. Through Bond, I also visited Nepal to live in a rural village for three weeks, teaching kids in schools and helping to paint an entire building. It was the most amazing experience."
