These programs are innovative,
forward-looking and attuned to the dynamics of the globalising world and
its multiple diplomatic channels. Students will find the programs not
just practical but also rigorous in providing a sound knowledge base for
each area of study, and in providing grounding in contemporary,
theoretical and cultural issues. Students will engage in simulations,
think-tank and scenario exercises with practical experience of the
subject gained through in-country experience, internships or
institutional (eg. UN, EU) visits.

Some students without practical workplace
experience, or with workplace experience in a field different from their
studies, choose to undertake an internship as part of their degree. This
intensely practical professional development approach fosters graduates
who are ready, willing and able to hit the ground running and make an
immediate impact in the workplace. |

Most students undertake four subjects per semester* (equivalent to 40
credit points). You may, however, enrol in fewer subjects and extend
your degree over a longer period. Bond's Teaching methodology involves a
combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, examinations, projects,
presentations, assignments, computer labs and industry projects.*
International students are required to study a minimum of 30 credit
hours (three subjects equivalent) per semester to fulfil Australian
study visa requirements. |
The study of international Relation provide students with an
understanding of international life - politically, economically and
culturally. This is an invaluable asset for graduates in a wide range of
professions, including diplomacy, foreign affairs, defence, government
service, business, journalism, teaching, politics, international trade
or public service. |
