Our fast-track trimester timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree at Bond. In fact, you can complete two degrees here in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities.

Bond’s Bachelor of International Relations and Bachelor of Business combination can be done in less than 3 years (8 semesters), whereas it can take up to 3 years to complete either one as a stand-alone degree elsewhere.

The combination of international relations and business will set you up for a career on the global stage. It provides the perfect package of fundamental business skills in management, economics, human resources, marketing and statistics, and an in-depth understanding of international politics, ideologies, diplomacy, and governance. This, combined with Bond’s strong focus on leadership and entrepreneurship, will help you stand out to future employers.

You will be engaged by a dynamic study program that includes developing and starting your own business; meeting mentors and potential investors; and overseas study, internship, and Model UN experiences.

In Bond’s small, personalised classes, students have access to state-of-the-art facilities in the Bond FinTech Hub, the Commercialisation Centre, the Centre for Data Analytics and Transformer. 

Studying these two in-demand degrees at the same time also represents a significant cost saving compared to studying the two degrees separately.

The Bachelor of International Relations prepares you for a fascinating career in a globalising world. Global and regional interdependence means that no state is unaffected by developments beyond its borders. Prosperity and security are based on international orientations. Businesses, governments, and organisations need people equipped with relevant professional skills and competencies in International Relations. You will explore a rich variety of interconnected issues in International Relations and the factors which shape them, including war and peace on our planet, human security, diplomacy, governance, and the influence of climate change on the future world. You will gain insight into politics, economy, and diplomacy both in Australia and other world geographic regions. An in-depth understanding of the world around us and the skills needed for its interpretation equip you for future employment in International Relations and many other areas where such capacities are required.

The Bachelor of Business prepares you for leadership roles in today’s global businesses.
