The Bond University , although it was founded in 1987, the first private university in Australia. The campus is located in Robina , a suburb of the Gold Coast city in the southeast of the Australian state of Queensland . The university is particularly renowned for its legal education and is one of the top three universities nationwide in the field of “Graduate Employment Rate”. In addition, the university recently took first place in eight out of fourteen areas in the national ranking.

The university was founded in 1987 by Australian entrepreneur Alan Bond and was given its status as a university by its own law, the Bond University Act 1987 of Queensland. In 1989, 322 people began their studies at the university, which today comprises around 3,800 people. A special feature is the high level of internationality. Almost half of all students are from outside Australia. If you compare the number of international students with those of the other Australian universities, Bond University is well above average.

In 2018, the university received top marks in various areas in a study by the Good Universities Guide. The course can be started three times a year, as the lecture-free period is either shortened or omitted entirely. Studies start in January, May and September. Bond University has a total of four faculties, an institute and a college. The four departments include Business and Information Technology, Health Sciences and Medicine, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Law. The Institute of Sustainable Development and Architecture consists of two schools where you can study sustainable development and architecture. Bond College enables lateral entry. In this, missing language skills in English and other qualifications can be acquired.

Sexual Harassment / Abuse and Safety

A national survey by the Australian Human Rights Commission in 2017 found that Bond had the highest relative number of student abuses by university staff, as well as the highest number of sexual harassment / abuse on campus. According to this report, the abuse rate is 12% above the national average. The Vice Chancellor called this a "wake-up call" and called for a fundamental rethink.
