Founded in 1989, Bond University, Australia’s first private not-for-profit university, emphasizes entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation in every subject. With nearly 5,000 students, it ranks 8th among small universities globally by Time Higher Education. Bond has deep ties with Japan, stemming from its inception as a partnership between Australian and Japanese investors. The university’s iconic architecture, designed by Arata Isozaki, reflects this connection. Over 1,500 alumni in Japan, including those from the Bond BBT MBA in Global Leadership, showcase the enduring collaboration with BBT University. The program, running for over two decades, involves online learning, study tours, case studies, and research on Japan’s economy.
