Vice-Chancellor’s Message

Your Bond degree is your passport to an extraordinary career.

Choosing the right university is the most important decision you will make at this stage of your life. It’s your investment in the future – not just financially, but in terms of the time, energy and effort you will put into your studies over the next few years.

So, like any investment, your choice must be based on the potential returns: Which university will give you more than a degree? Which university will open the door to a truly extraordinary career? Bond University has positioned itself as a leading university, imbued with a spirit to innovate, a commitment to influence and a dedication to inspire tomorrow’s professionals. We believe that the knowledge and skills you learn in the classroom are simply the starting point.

Just imagine what you will achieve working with internationally renowned teachers in small personalised classes. Just imagine how quickly you could climb the corporate ladder if you graduated a full year ahead of your competitors and had specific training in leadership skills. And with a global network of contacts, you will be able to work anywhere in the world.

We know you have the potential to make a real difference – because we have seen so many of our students over the years do just that. Living and working in every corner of the globe, they are now heading up major corporations, helping disadvantaged communities in developing countries, researching medical breakthroughs, engineering cutting-edge technologies.

As a graduate of Bond University, you will be joining their elite ranks. If your goal is to be the best that you can be, to have your choice of the top jobs and to forge a successful and satisfying career at the highest level, Bond University can give you all the tools you need to bring your ambition to life.

FINISH YOUR DEGREE SOONER At Bond, you won’t be losing time with long breaks between semesters. We run three full semesters a year, with intakes in January, May and September. This means that you can complete 12-subject master’s in just a year.

It also means you don’t have to wait until next February or July to get started on your degree. If you’re ready to get your future underway, our next intake is just around the corner.

From a student perspective, Bond University stands alone. The reason why? Well, actually there are three of them, all which add up to a far better university experience and outcome for you – regardless of which field of study you choose.

BE MENTORED BY WORLD LEADING ACADEMICS Bond’s personalised teaching philosophy means you will learn in smaller class sizes with unprecedented one-on-one access to your professors. Even outside class time, our academics have an open door policy that means they will not only know you by name, they’ll actively mentor your progress.

GRADUATE BETTER PREPARED At Bond, we believe education goes beyond the classroom. Part of our unique approach is to help you develop a strong foundation of leadership attributes that will prepare you for success and rapid career progression.

This is why our graduates are the first choice for many employers. They are immediately distinguishable in the workplace for their confidence, maturity, global awareness, communication skills and leadership qualities. Bond sets you up to succeed.

Why Bond?Because we do things differently.

Bond University offers three semesters a year, allowing you to complete your studies much earlier than at other universities. For instance, you may be able to complete a master’s degree between one year (3 semesters) and one year and four months (4 semesters) at Bond.

Bond’s accelerated study mode, combined with the flexibility of our cross-faculty subject offerings, gives you the opportunity to tailor your studies to suit your specific career goals or enhance your employability by gaining extra qualifications.

POSTGRADUATE STUDYBond University offers a range of higher degrees by coursework or research.

Admission to postgraduate coursework degrees generally requires an undergraduate qualification from a recognised institution. In some cases, however, extensive career experience in a relevant discipline may meet the entry criteria.

Doctoral studies are completed predominantly through research guided and supervised by specialist advisors. Each faculty at Bond incorporates world-renowned research centres, headed by international authorities in their respective fields.

HONOURS DEGREEAn honours degree is usually two or three semesters of additional coursework, seminars and supervised research taken after completion of a bachelor’s degree. It advances your knowledge and experience and helps prepare you for future research work and higher degree programs. A high level of achievement in an undergraduate course is a prerequisite of entry into an honours degree program. Honours degrees are available in the Faculty of Society & Design (Psychology only) and the Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATEMost one-semester professional development programs generally comprise four subjects and serve as an ideal introduction to postgraduate study. This is particularly ideal for working professionals who cannot commit the time for a full master’s degree. Subjects completed can normally be credited towards a graduate diploma.

GRADUATE DIPLOMACompleted in just eight months (two semesters), the graduate diploma normally comprises eight subjects. This is an excellent option for those wishing to update their skills and qualifications in a specialist area and may be credited towards a full master’s degree*.

MASTER’S DEGREEMaster’s degrees are available in a wide range of disciplines in all faculties. If you hold a bachelor degree in a similar discipline, the master’s program generally comprises 12 subjects. Master’s programs can be undertaken by coursework only, a combination of coursework and research, or by research only.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PHD)Higher Degrees by Research are completed predominantly through research, with candidates guided and supervised by specialist advisors. The PhD degree may be awarded for thesis only, or thesis and coursework or publication.

DOCTORATEDoctoral degrees are offered by Bond in the areas of legal science, laws, health sciences and physiotherapy.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTSThe Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program is an undergraduate program, however it is also open to postgraduate students. Enrolments in the program are strictly limited to ensure small class sizes and sufficient clinical placements. As such, entry is extremely competitive.

Postgraduate applicants will be evaluated based on the following criteria:1. GPA from a previous university degree (all

subjects within the qualification completed within the last nine years) which also demonstrates qualifications at least equivalent to Queensland Year 12 Chemistry, Maths B (or equivalent) and English. (bond.edu.au/mbbs-prerequisites) Applicants who do not meet these requirements must complete an approved bridging course before their application can be considered (qualification must be completed in coursework as we do not accept research or thesis).

2. Structured interview ranking.

For full entry requirements, visit bond.edu.au/mbbs.

Applicants are selected through a rigorous assessment process based on outstanding academic achievement, in combination with a demonstrated ability to achieve graduate outcomes of knowledge and critical thinking, leadership, initiative and teamwork, communication skills, responsibility, ethical decision-making skills, motivation and non-verbal reasoning.

Short-listed applicants will be required to attend an interview in person at Bond University, where their general suitability to medicine and preparedness to undertake a highly demanding course will be examined in a structured multi mini interview, comprising eight individual interviewers from both medical and non-medical backgrounds who are trained in entry-style medicine interviews.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONBond University’s Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery Program (MBBS) is an accredited, integrated evidence-based course offering direct entry to both Year 12 school-leavers and other university graduates.

Established by one of the world’s leading authorities in Evidence- Based Medicine, the program is distinguished by its strong educational focus on problem-based learning. Rather than studying one specialist area at a time, the curriculum challenges students with clinical cases that combine a range of symptoms, possible diagnoses and disciplines. The holistic learning strategy is complemented by extensive clinical practice and patient contact integrated with the theoretical study elements.

The Bond MBBS program is designed to equip graduates with the knowledge and practical skills that a doctor needs to practice medicine in a modern clinical setting. A variety of teaching and learning systems are employed including case-based small group tutorials, problem-based tutorials, practical classes, clinical skills and laboratory training, self-directed learning, web-based and e-learning, interactive seminars and lectures. This combination of contemporary medical education approaches ensures that learning relates directly to patient care and prepares graduates to assume a high level of responsibility.

A strong emphasis is placed on clinical skills training and due to small class sizes, students learn in a highly personalised environment with state-of-the-art equipment. With Bond’s three-semesters-per-year timetable and intensive clinical training periods, the MBBS degree is completed in just 4 years 8 months, with graduates then eligible to apply for hospital internships.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE*The Bond MBBS program comprises five academic years. The first three years of the program align with Bond University’s 12-week semester format and extensively use problem-based learning. Each week involves a clinical case around which the learning is integrated.

Year 1Year 1 commences with the molecular and cellular foundations of life and then guides learning through the first cycle of the body systems.

This cycle focuses on:• Introducing the structure and function of discrete

organs• Psychological basis of normal human behaviour• Sociological basis of the behaviours of populations

The foundations of an effective practitioner are explored through an introduction to conducting effective observations of people both healthy and ill. This involves the beginning of the development of the understanding of and the skills involved in effective interpersonal communication, group work and collaborative learning.

Collectively integrated learning opportunities seed:• Awareness of the roles of the doctor and healthcare

system• The impact of illness on the patient, their family

and society• The ethical basis of patient-centred health care

Year 2Year 2 is framed around a second cycle through the body systems and focuses on:• Relationships between structure and function,

building complexity into an integrative systems focus

• Mechanisms of disease and infectious organisms• Compensatory mechanisms for restoring normal

function

Knowledge of psychosocial frameworks is deepened and broadened to explore the varied responses of individuals, groups, populations and cultures to disease as well as the exploration of psychosocial factors that contribute to disease and impact on patient healthcare, highlighting the complexities of health inequities.

The foundation knowledge and skills of a competent practitioner continue with a focus on history taking and physical examination of discrete systems. The ethical complexities of health care are then further explored inclusive of the legal framework for provision of health care and placements in health care settings will provide the context for introducing healthcare systems.

Year 3The year will be structured around the core rotations of:• Child Health• Medicine• Mental Health• Surgery• Women’s Health

With a focus in specific areas of:• Clinical Pharmacology• Endocrinology• Imaging• Immunology• Neurology• Oncology• Pathology

Year 3 focuses on the use of evidence in the practice of medicine. Acquisition of clinical reasoning skills will be based on the appropriate prioritisation of diagnostic possibilities, after the synthesis of complete examinations and the application of knowledge of normal structure and function and disease processes. Learning will occur in a rich clinical environment, deepening the experiential base of the impacts of psychosocial and cultural constructs on illness and healthcare and will provide the context to further explore community and population health. Professional development continues guiding development of competencies to effectively manage complex and stressful situations involving both individuals and groups. This year completes preparation for full immersion in the clinical learning environment in the Years 4 and 5.

Year 4Year 4 consists of approximately 43 academic weeks, which includes rotations through the following clinical disciplines:• Child Health• Medicine• Mental Health• Surgery• Women’s Health

In-Training Assessment (ITA) is conducted throughout the year.

Year 5Year 5 consists of approximately 42 academic weeks, including rotations through the following clinical disciplines:• Emergency Medicine• General Practice• Critical Care• Selective (an area of sub-speciality interest )• Elective (Students have another opportunity to

undertake further clinical placements either in Australia or overseas. Opportunities for research are also available during the elective period)

In-Training Assessment (ITA) is conducted throughout the year.

BEST THING ABOUT BONDThe opening day on 15 May 1989 was hard to forget. Winning the Battle for Bond in 1997 was magnificent. The abiding highlight is the people at the finest start up university of our times.

INTERESTING FACTSI gave the first undergraduate lecture in law at Bond in 1989, arriving through the mud and rain on crutches, sporting a broken leg from rugby with the students. I participated in the ‘Battle for Bond’ in the mid-1990s, the fight to retain Bond as a private and independent university. It was a victorious battle.

BEST THING ABOUT BONDWorking in an environment that recognises there are groups of people in the community who need help, and supporting its academics to create meaningful changes for those people. Through our research in the Centre for Autism Spectrum Disorders we have worked with over 300 families to learn more about the barriers that prevent children on the autism spectrum from reaching their potential. Our work brings us face to face with children, giving us the opportunity to assist them, and also provides us with a strong basis for conducting intentionally recognised research.

ALUMNI LOYALTY DISCOUNTA 10 per cent discount on tuition fees is available to students who have completed a full degree program at Bond University and are granted admission to a further degree (conditions apply). For more information please visit bond.edu.au/loyalty-discounts.

LIVING COSTS You should allow approximately AUD$6,200 - $9,000 for living costs each semester that you live on the Gold Coast. This may vary depending on your budget for rent, food, transport, clothing, recreation, textbooks, telephone, electricity and other living expenses. Please note this figure has been calculated using shared off-campus accommodation. For more information visit bond.edu.au/study-at-bond/study-abroad/living-expenses. At Bond University you will not need to budget for on- campus parking as it is made available free of charge to all students.

BOOKS AND STUDY MATERIALSThe costs for books, stationery, software and other resources tend to be the same at most universities. Allow around AUD$300 per semester to help offset this cost, you may choose to sell your old textbooks and buy secondhand at the Bond Book Sale held the Friday of Week 1 each semester.

PART-TIME WORK FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Australian Government regulations permit international students to work up to 40 hours in a fortnight and full time during semester breaks. Please note you cannot commence work until you commence your degree program in Australia. As work can’t be guaranteed, it should be viewed as a supplementary source of funds only and not relied on to cover tuition or living costs.

HEALTH COVER FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is an Australian Government requirement for all international students and their dependents, and needs to be paid prior to visa issue. Allianz Global Assistance is the preferred OHSC provider for international students at Bond University. They offer excellent incentives, such as discounts and protection against future rate rises. Please note that the Australian Government requires students to be covered for the length of the visa. OSHC assists towards the costs of fees for doctors, surgery, shared hospital ward accommodation, emergency ambulance transport and some other medical services.

You can opt to pay a higher level of private medical health insurance. This will give you extra cover for the cost of services such as optical treatment, physiotherapy and private hospital treatment with a doctor of your choice.

In some circumstances, Norwegian, Swedish and Belgium students are exempt from OSHC. Please check with your local representatives to confirm whether you will require health cover to study in Australia.
