Company History
Modelled on the traditions of the world’s most elite educational institutions, the vision for Australia’s first private, not-for-profit university was to provide an exclusive educational experience of the highest international standards, under the tutelage of the country’s leading academics.
The University pioneered the independent, private, not-for-profit model of university education in Australia, introducing a three semesters per year schedule that facilitates accelerated study programs allowing students to complete a six-semester bachelor degree in two years instead of three, or a master’s in 12 months.
Benefits
As part of the Bond community, employees benefit from numerous training and development opportunities for professional growth, including an option for eligible staff to undertake study over the course of their employment to expand their knowledge base.
Research is a key area of focus and growth for Bond and is recognised as such through its prominence across every facet of the University’s policies and the opportunity for eligible academic staff to undertake a research semester annually.
Additional staff benefits include salary packaging, gym and library membership, on campus car and bike parking, as well as competitive remuneration structures.
