Use The Summer Break to Change Your Life
It’s the end of a long year and your enthusiasm for study is probably pretty frayed – so why not take time out over the summer to think about how you can inject a little excitement back into university life.
There’s no rule that says you have to go back for more of the same at the end of summer. You could go travelling … or live in another country … or work overseas … all without interrupting your study schedule.
The holidays give you time to get on the internet and see what else is out there – and there are plenty of universities around the world offering places for Canadian students.
The similarity of culture, language and lifestyle makes Australia a popular choice for Canadian students and the Canadian Student Loans Program can help off-set the upfront costs, providing you choose to study at an approved institution.
Bond University in Queensland is fully approved under the scheme - and their three-semesters-per-year timetable means you can start your studies in September, so you don’t have to waste any time waiting to get into your new course.
Located just one hour south of Brisbane – Australia’s third largest city – Bond is ranked as one of Australia’s leading universities, with five star ratings for graduate outcomes and teaching quality.
As a private university modelled on the exclusive ivy league colleges of North America, they offer a boutique learning experience where students work in small class groups under the personal mentorship of internationally-renowned academics and with easy access to all the very best facilities and resources on campus.
A major part of the Bond philosophy is to combine academic learning with workplace experience and the various faculties have established links with major Australian and multi-national organisations in all fields to create excellent internship opportunities for their students.
As such, your resume will not only reflect your international study experience but also international work experience – two factors that may just give you the edge when it comes to applying for future jobs.
The strong contingent of Canadian students already in residence at Bond will ensure you’re made to feel right at home from the moment you arrive. You’ll also be studying with fellow international students from all over the world, helping you build a network of friends and future business contacts that will ultimately span the globe.
So, while you’re surfing the ‘net for internships and holiday jobs for the summer, why not check out Bond University at www.bond.edu.au and see how you can really change your life this year.
