Empowering career-ready graduates

It’s not always easy working out what you want to do, and how you want to do it. Here at Bond, the transition from university to employment starts from your earliest days on campus.

A connected community

Create a valuable network from day one

Thanks to their industry experience, all of our academics have an extensive network of contacts in their relevant field. Those connections go even further through each Faculty’s established long-term partnerships with key industry players – from international hotel chains and development companies to Australia’s leading law firms, accounting practices, hospitals, healthcare clinics, sporting teams and more.

In classes, you will benefit from your academics’ industry contacts and partnerships to open doors to work experience and internship opportunities, and work on projects directly tied to industry. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to meet with future employers through introductions at on-campus events, guest lectures, industry conferences and inter-university competitions.
