Over the past decade, Bond Business School has set the benchmark for integrating big data and analytics into the broader spectrum of business, commerce and finance education.
The School is home to the world-renowned Centre for Data Analytics. It is the first and only university in Queensland to offer degrees in Actuarial Science. We also offer a major in Big Data as part of all our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
Our focus on this crucial discipline is driven by the fact that the gathering and analysis of data represents the future of the corporate environment and, consequently, the corporate career marketplace. Over the next two years, 76 per cent of Australian companies are planning to increase their investment in data analytics and the number of data science professionals is expected to grow by 2.4 per cent every year between now and 2022.
But, as many businesses have found, it is not enough to gather information and crunch numbers. The true advantage lies in knowing how to apply that data to real-life scenarios in a way that will impact behaviour and improve business decision-making.
This ‘evidence-based’ decision making is a key pillar of Bond Business School’s programs, including our new Bachelor of Business Data Analytics. This is designed to prepare students for a future where big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence will be fully integrated into the business environment.
It also underpins our MBA program which has been redesigned so students can tailor it to their individual career interests. Our MBA program can be completed full-time or on a part-time schedule, utilising intensive `bootcamps’ to accelerate learning, develop professional connections, and minimise time away from work and family.
Above all, Bond Business School is differentiated by its dynamic study environment where small group classes are taught in boardrooms, meeting rooms and the FinTech Hub where you’ll have access to live-streamed financial market data via 40 Bloomberg Terminals.
In the Transformer space, you can work on your own business start-up or passion project, mentored by academics and industry leaders.
And you’ll have access to the Business Commons – a new student lounge area designed for the use of Bond University students.
There is a buzz, an energy, an air of innovation and excitement that permeates the Bond Business School environment. I look forward to seeing how that will change and evolve as our Class of 2020 brings their hopes and dreams and aspirations to the mix.
