MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DEAN
Welcome to Bond University’s Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine.
We have an established reputation for offering innovative degree programs in a range of health-related disciplines and professions underpinned by Bond University’s commitment to providing excellent teaching, outstanding learning facilities and a first-rate student learning experience.
We work closely with our valued partners including hospitals and health services, community and charitable groups, government and industry collaborators, and our alumni to produce graduates who are work-ready and possess the leadership skills to improve local, national and global health and wellbeing.
At Bond University, our class sizes are smaller in all modes of teaching and our three-semesters-per-year timetable offers students a genuine competitive edge by allowing them to complete degrees and enter the workplace earlier than is possible in most university programs. The commitment of our dedicated staff to interprofessional learning and research-informed teaching provides the right environment for students to excel, both professionally and personally.
Research is an integral part of Bond’s success. We pride ourselves on our research excellence, and our commitment and ability to innovate and produce world-class research collaborations that will deliver better health outcomes and better healthcare services to local, national and international communities.
I invite you to take a closer look at our range of excellent programs and welcome you to our learning community.

PHYSIOTHERAPYPhysiotherapists are focused on maintaining health, strength building, prevention of disease and rehabilitation through movement and exercise.
Bond University’s Doctor of Physiotherapy offers an innovative problem-based learning model of physiotherapy education to prepare entry level physiotherapists for their roles and responsibilities as first contact practitioners.
The Doctor of Physiotherapy assists students to progressively develop and apply their knowledge, skills and professional attitudes and behaviour for physiotherapy practice and places a strong emphasis on clinical experiential learning with 50 percent of the program undertaken in a clinical context. The first 30 weeks of clinical practice addresses five core areas in both hospital and community settings and one elective.
Physiotherapy transcends across a number of areas including orthopaedics, musculoskeletal practice, chronic disease and disability, paediatrics, women’s / men’s health and private / sports practice.

THE MEDICAL PROGRAM^The Bond University Medical Program^ is known for its accelerated pathway towards practising as a doctor in Australia and New Zealand*. The program is comprised of two sequential degrees; the Bachelor of Medical Studies (2 years 8 months’ duration) followed immediately by the Doctor of Medicine (2 years’ duration), allowing students to graduate in 4 years and 8 months as a qualified doctor. Please note that these two degrees are not available separately.
The Medical Program^ currently has a capped capacity of 120 students per intake, which means most learning happens in small groups of no more than 15 students. This allows for personalised learning with world renowned academics, medical professionals and professional staff. Students benefit from a variety of teaching and learning systems, including case-based small group tutorials, problem-based learning, practical classes, clinical skills and laboratory training, self-directed learning, web-based and e-learning, interactive seminars and lectures. This contemporary approach to medical education ensures that learning relates directly to patient care and prepares graduates to assume a high level of responsibility.
Bond University boasts world-class teaching facilities that create an invigorating learning environment. Some of the facilities include anatomy and histology laboratories, clinical skills rooms, health sciences laboratories, a pathology museum and the Clinical Education and Research Centre in Robina Hospital. The Medical Program^ is distinguished by its strong educational focus on case-based learning, evidence-based medicine and integrated clinical practice.
The Medical Program^• Bachelor of Medical Studies CRICOS Course Code 087932C
• Doctor of Medicine CRICOS Course Code 087933B
*The Bond University Medical Program^ does not currently accept International students through direct entry, however there are pathways into the program through the Bond University Bachelor of Biomedical Science, and various graduate entry pathways.
^The Medical Program is comprised of two sequential degrees – the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD). All students selected for entry into the Medical Program^ will have to complete both the BMedSt and MD to be eligible for registration as a medical practitioner in any state or territory in Australia or New Zealand.
HEALTHCARE INNOVATIONSThe first of its kind in Australia, the groundbreaking new Master of Healthcare Innovations is designed for a diverse cohort of health professionals; health administrators, academics, nurses and allied health professionals who want to be systems thinkers and problem solvers by using research based evidence to deliver high quality healthcare in the 21st century.
This innovative, multidisciplinary program is run in conjunction with the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, Bond Business School and the Bond University Transformer, allowing students to explore content led by global leaders in higher education, research and innovation. This emphasis on interdisciplinary and inter-industry learning and collaboration ensures the future graduates of this program can create a shift in current models and systems of care, with the use of new technologies, new business models and a disruptive value network to bring about systematic reform. What is needed now is to educate the future workforce to drive this disruption and to translate this knowledge to practitioners and the community for the future.
