Private universities in Australia

Australia's university system is overwhelmingly public, so private universities and private higher-education providers are a small group with distinct characters. They tend to be smaller, more teaching-focused, and more expensive per year, since they receive no government funding and charge international and domestic students the same fee.

The trade-off is often smaller classes, a tighter industry focus, more frequent intakes, and in Bond's case a compressed calendar that finishes a bachelor degree in two years. None offer Commonwealth Supported Places, so scholarship support matters more here.
