Bond University FAQs
What does it mean that Bond has an ‘accelerated timetable’?
Bond runs three semesters per year, starting in January, May and September. That means that students can complete a six-semester bachelor’s degree – three years at most universities – in just two years, entering the job market earlier and getting a headstart on career progression and promotion. There are still breaks between semesters, but not the lengthy downtime of most other institutions.
How can I finance my fees?
Bond is an approved higher education provider that offers Commonwealth assistance with student tuition fees via FEE-HELP. Like HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP is an interest-free loan provided by the Australian Government that helps eligible students pay their tuition fees. You will start repaying your HELP balance when your income reaches a certain level.
Can I study online at Bond University?
Bond is known for its personalised support and outstanding learning experience, which is for the most part, delivered face-to-face at our Gold Coast campus. We do offer one fully online program, the Juris Doctor Online, which delivers Bond’s signature law experience in a flexible and online format.
