Bond University – Scholarship & Program Information Session

Last Tuesday Mr Scott Williamson from Bond University spoke to a group regarding Bond University’s programs and scholarships. Bond University is a private university, located on the Gold Coast which offers students a different approach to university life. Bond’s philosophy is that they strive to provide students with an experience to make them stand out in the crowd from the graduates from public universities. Scott explained that a core feature of a Bond University degree is the minimum of 100 hours of internships and experiences in industry. Bond University’s smaller class sizes and accelerated programs also ensure that students progress and graduate faster than their peers at a public university.
