On 15 May, 1989, Bond University welcomed the first cohort of 322 students to its brand new, state-of-the-art campus on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
As Australia’s first private, not-for-profit university, the vision was for Bond to offer an exclusive educational experience of the highest international standards, where students from around the world would be mentored in small class groups by renowned academics and high-profile industry leaders.
When those foundation students graduated as the Class of 1989, they were quickly recruited by Australia’s most successful corporations, and their subsequent achievements in the workplace firmly established Bond’s reputation for excellence.
During the past 30 years, Bond University has become one of Australia’s leading tertiary institutions, renowned for its expertise in study areas ranging from business, law, medicine, architecture, and data analytics, to film and television, communication, sports management, and occupational therapy.
Bond is Australia’s #1 university for student experience for 16 years.* In 2018, 2019 and 2020, Australian employers said they were more satisfied with Bond graduates than those from any other university.
Bond has achieved far beyond all expectations, meeting every challenge with the unbridled spirit of determination and innovation that has characterized its rich and colorful history.
