IFSA - BOND UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP
Gold Coast, Australia
WHY STUDY ON THE GOLD COAST?
A fast-growing metropolis and one of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations, Gold Coast is famous for sun, surf, and sand. The city features 70 kilometers of beautiful beaches, vast rainforest, and breathtaking scenery. More than just beaches, Gold Coast has more than 500 restaurants, major shopping centers, four major theme parks, and nightlife galore. It’s also a convenient gateway to area rainforests, natural wetlands, sugar cane farms, and outdoor recreation facilities.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Intentionally smaller than most Australian universities, Bond’s community of 5,000 students makes it easy to join in and take advantage of opportunities for individualized learning at a school devoted to innovation and entrepreneurship.
Established in 1989 as the nation’s first private, not-for profit university, Bond created a new, state-of-the art campus in Queensland in the Gold Coast suburb, Robina. Standout features include an 11-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio, industry-focused academic programs, and instruction from industry leaders. Bond also follows a U.S. calendar and class structure, making the transition easy for U.S. students. Bond is popular for business, law, architecture, sport management, and communication studies.
As a “Bondy,” you’ll enjoy surf, sports, and sunshine, as well as opportunities to connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities—all at a university that has dominated the number-one ranking for student experience in Australia for 16 years (The Good Universities Guide, 2006-2022).

CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES & EXCURSIONS
Activities and excursions are designed to pull you into the communities you visit and encourage cultural connections of every kind. There’s no extra fee to participate in these optional outings—everything is included in your program fee.
Below are examples from previous terms; outings may be different for your program. We’ll make every effort to run them all, but sometimes things we can’t control, such as local regulations and health protocols, get in the way. As result, we cannot guarantee activities and excursions.
- Indigenous Australians Dance Performance
- Bike Tour
- NACE Competencies Workshop
- Farewell Dinner
- Lamington National Park Weekend
- Stradbroke Island First Nations Tour
- Lone Pine Sanctuary Visit
- Witches Falls Getaway
