Studying Law in Australia at Bond University - 2025

I decided to study in Australia because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I chose Bond University because I had heard excellent things about the university, the students, professors, and overall learning experience, and just wanted to try something different for myself. Having lived in Canada my whole life, I thought it would be valuable to experience a new environment and broaden my perspective.

I had been interested in law since grade 9 because I enjoy problem-solving and critical thinking. I reached out to a contact at Bond University, who explained what studying there would be like. I was looking at studying in the UK too, and hadn’t realized Australia was an option, so this conversation prompted me to research further and ultimately make my decision.

I chose Australia because of the great weather (it’s warmer there) and because I knew a few people there. That said, I would recommend that anyone considering studying abroad do thorough research before committing.

No, I didn’t. I wasn’t even aware that expert advice was available. Since I was already at university, I didn’t think to seek out additional resources. In hindsight, I realize there are so many resources for prospective students.

Yes, living alone in a new continent was a significant adjustment. You’re in a completely new environment, and even small day-to-day things, like public transportation, take time to navigate. However, it became easier with practice. Australians are generally friendly and helpful, and I found that support was just a phone call away. Over time, I adapted, and the transition became much smoother.

Bond University is beautiful, spacious, and well-resourced. The professors are very friendly, and many have an open-door policy. The students are also wonderful. It felt welcoming, almost like a home away from home, and you’re able to build your own supportive community.

I am back in Canada, and plan to become dual trained. Bond University offers resources tailored to Canadian students, including sessions on the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA). Even after graduation, support from Bond is readily available; they respond quickly to emails, which is invaluable. I plan to pursue my certification and license in Canada and apply the practical skills I gained at Bond. The knowledge I acquired there is something I use every day.

You change as a person, in a positive way. It’s the kind of transformation that occurs when you try anything new. The experience has been transformative, personally and professionally. I’m grateful to my family, friends, and Bond University for the support that made it possible.

The impact has been significant. Networking and building connections are crucial, and while it can be intimidating at first, it’s highly rewarding. Bond’s program helps develop well-rounded, capable professionals, and the support available through the university ensures you’re never on your own.

If you’re considering it, I’d say go for it. Studying abroad is challenging but immensely rewarding. It encourages personal and professional growth and provides experiences that you can carry with you for life. Stepping out of your comfort zone changes you for the better, it’s a win-win situation.
