BUILDING TOMORROW’S BUSINESS LEADERS, ONE BY ONEOver the past decade, Bond Business School has set the benchmark for integrating big data and analytics into the broader spectrum of business, commerce and finance education.

The School is home to the world-renowned Centre for Actuarial and Financial Big Data Analytics. It is the first and only university in Queensland to offer degrees in Actuarial Science. We also offer a major in Big Data as part of all our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

Our focus on this crucial discipline is driven by the fact that the gathering and analysis of data represents the future of the corporate environment and, consequently, the corporate career marketplace. Over the next two years, 76 per cent of Australian companies are planning to increase their investment in data analytics and the number of data science professionals is expected to grow by 2.4 per cent every year between now and 2022.

But, as many businesses have found, it is not enough to gather information and crunch numbers. The true advantage lies in knowing how to apply that data to real-life scenarios in a way that will impact behaviour and improve business decision-making. This ‘evidence-based’ decision making is a key pillar of Bond Business School’s programs, including our new Bachelor of Business Data Analytics. This is designed to prepare students for a future where big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence will be fully integrated into the business environment.

It also underpins our MBA program which has been redesigned so students can tailor it to their individual career interests. Our MBA program can be completed full-time or on a part-time schedule, utilising intensive `bootcamps’ to accelerate learning, develop professional connections, and minimise time away from work and family. Above all, Bond Business School is differentiated by its dynamic study environment where small group classes are taught in boardrooms, meeting rooms and the FinTech Hub where you’ll have access to live-streamed financial market data via 40 Bloomberg Terminals.

In the Transformer space, you can work on your own business start-up or passion project, mentored by academics and industry leaders. And you’ll have 24 / 7 access to the Business Commons – a new student lounge area designed for the use of our business students.

There is a buzz, an energy, an air of innovation and excitement that permeates the Bond Business School environment.

I look forward to seeing how that will change and evolve as our Class of 2020 brings their hopes and dreams and aspirations to the mix.

FINISH YOUR DEGREE UP TO A YEAR AHEAD OF THE RESTOur three-semester-per-year schedule means students graduate up to 12 months earlier than their peers at other universities. We have intakes in January, May and September so there’s no time wasted.

SMALL CLASSES AND PERSONAL MENTORINGAt most universities, business degrees are a numbers game, with class sizes averaging 300 to 1,000 students. At Bond Business School, students often learn in groups of around 20 to 30, delivering more interaction, more support and more opportunities for students. You’ll also have access to our formal mentoring program where you’ll be supported by academic staff, senior students and successful alumni.

REAL DIVERSITYEvery Bond Business School student has the opportunity to enhance their learning experience with international study tours, work experience and study abroad opportunities, facilitated through our close connections with several of the world’s leading universities and corporations. However, the most powerful means of global exposure is our internationally diverse student environment.

4WE’RE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY... The Bond Business Mentoring Program teams you with academic staff, senior students and alumni who will mentor you in small groups to help you meet new friends, transition into the Bond community and tap into our extensive resources. We also offer academic support programs, intercultural skills workshops and public speaking workshops.

ACCOUNTINGAs the critical element of all business decisions, accounting qualifications lead to careers in a wide range of business environments – from professional accounting practices and large corporations through to not-for-profit organisations and the public sector. Bond’s established networks with international accounting firms such as KPMG, PwC, EY and Deloitte, offer exceptional internship and mentoring opportunities.

ACTUARIAL SCIENCEWith LinkedIn listing ‘statistical analysis and data mining’ as the #2 ‘hard skill’ in demand for 2018, specialist qualifications in Actuarial Science open the doors to careers in a wide range of fields, including health, infrastructure and climatology that are set to become the growth sectors of the future. Home to the Centre for Actuarial and Financial Data Analytics, Bond is the only Queensland university to offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Actuarial Science.

BIG DATA Big Data provides a strong survey into the concepts and applications of modern machine learning and data analytics. Data analytics technologies and techniques are widely used in commercial industries to enable organisations to make more informed business decisions. In today’s marketplace, it is not enough to gather information and crunch numbers; you must know how to apply that data to real-life scenarios in a way that will impact behaviour.

ECONOMICSThe study of economics looks at the big questions of how people, industries and countries can maximise their productivity, create wealth and maintain financial stability. While microeconomics looks into individual preferences, macroeconomics suggests ways to improve overall standards of living. It provides a fascinating framework for analysing how humans and organisations behave and interact which can be applied to careers as economists, financial analysts, management analysts and statisticians.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATIONEntrepreneurship is fully integrated into our core Bachelor of Business program, where every student is given the opportunity to conceive, develop and launch their own start-up. Other options include the 13-week Bond Business Accelerator, international study tours, high level internships and the new Transformer program.

FINANCEFinance is concerned with how individuals, firms, financial institutions and governments allocate their resources. While this primarily relates to the development, exchange and pricing of securities and commodities, it also encompasses investor psychology, computational finances and the impact of regulations on investor decision making.

HOTEL AND TOURISM MANAGEMENTThere is no better place in the world to study hotel and tourism management than Australia’s Gold Coast, where over 10 million visitors a year support a growing network of hotels, resorts, theme parks and attractions. Studying in this ‘living laboratory’, you’ll benefit from Bond Business School’s partnerships with global tourism brands such as Virgin, Accor, Hilton, Marriott, InterContinental and more, who ensure our curriculum is relevant, current and informed by real-world application. Students will undertake an Industry Experience Placement or an Employment Activity as part of the Beyond Bond program.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS Globalisation has changed the face of business education. Graduates are now expected to have a clear understanding of how business works in the international marketplace, and how companies can identify and leverage opportunities to become competitive on the world stage. In addition to undertaking international study tours and internships, Bond students are mentored by corporate headliners and successful alumni who share their global experience and contacts.

MANAGEMENTManagement involves setting and accomplishing individual, group and organisational business objectives through planning, leading, organising and controlling resources. You’ll learn how to think strategically, understand financial realities and industry-specific factors, and become adept at negotiation and leadership. Most importantly, you’ll develop the skills to develop, motivate and guide others to achieve at their highest level.

MARKETINGMarketing qualifications can be applied to a range of exciting careers in areas such as advertising, brand management, market research, promotion, public relations, research and strategy. With the focus on creating value for the customer through product or service offerings, you’ll gain insight into how customers think, analysing their behaviour and developing logical, yet creative solutions that will meet their needs.

Bond Business School’s flexible programs allow you to tailor your degree with majors and specialisations in your choice of:

MAJORS AND SPECIALISATIONS

I don’t teach facts, I teach ideas. I’m not interested in my students regurgitating facts and theories about stats; I want them to understand the real reasons behind data analysis methods and understand how and when analytic techniques should, and more importantly shouldn’t, be used. Data analysis is the skill of the future. If you know how to understand and analyse data, there is no industry or career in the world you can’t be involved in somehow.

I chose Bond University because I really wanted to study Actuarial Science and Bond offers the program, with the business connections other universities lack. I recently completed an internship at a firm, using data analytics to find evidence used in large-scale lawsuits.

EXPERIENCE BOND BUSINESS SCHOOL

Throughout the two days, I met strangers that became friends, experienced university life and through conversing with academics and current students, learnt about Bond’s strong sense of community, passion for learning and vast opportunities.

Thanks to the program, I felt a sense of familiarity upon starting university, where the culmination of social events, chances to network, opportunities to truly immerse myself in the community as well as Bond’s attentive approach to teaching - has allowed university life to surround me in an environment that provides utmost support, encouragement and excitement.

Tomorrow’s business environment will look nothing like today’s. The old order has already been disrupted by new technologies, new products, new services and new ways of doing business.

BOND BUSINESS ACCELERATORThe ultimate incubator for early stage startups, our Bond Business Accelerator (BBA) combines formal training, practical skills, high level mentoring and investor introductions to transform ideas into commercial entities. Offering a chance to win $5,000 in seed funding, the 13-week bootcamp is open to all students, alumni and working professionals.

BUSINESS MODEL GENERATION AND EXECUTIONOur core Business Model Generation and Execution subjects lead students through the start-up and commercialisation process of creating an actual enterprise. Our blended, work-integrated teaching combines leading edge entrepreneurial theory with the latest methodologies used by business incubators, accelerators and corporate innovation labs worldwide.

TRANSFORMERThe co-curricular Transformer program applies entrepreneurial thinking to the broader spectrum of solutions-driven innovation. You might be inspired to come up with a better distribution system for an agricultural business, an improved service delivery model for an NGO or a great idea for a new app. You’ll have access to workshops, online resources, mentors, professional networks and flexible work areas in our purpose-built Transformer space.

SILICON VALLEY STUDY TOURConnecting students with the world of innovation, our week-long Silicon Valley Study Tour includes educational visits to a range of entrepreneurial environments. Students hear from some of the world’s leading start-up companies, including Google, Twitter, Tesla Motors, 99designs, Omada Health and Stanford University’s D.School.

FOSTERING INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

I decided to study the Bachelor of Business majoring in Marketing because I needed to learn key areas like advertising, social media marketing and product development to allow me to successfully run my own business, Ideal Breakfast Shake, outside of university. What I enjoy most about the program is the application of the material to real-world business. The content is relevant to today’s society and something I actually take interest in. The lecturers are also really engaging and take the time to get to know you. It is this personalised and committed assistance that I enjoy most at Bond.
