|  Bond University’s Mirvac School of Sustainable Development is dedicated to the concept and practice of sustainability by integrating design, planning, property, construction and urban development education.
With the current worldwide growth of city populations and the expansion of rural and coastal centres, the challenge for today’s architects, urban planners, developers and government authorities is to create communities that will provide long-term quality of life for the future generations that will make their home there.
Positioned within Bond’s renowned faculty of Business, Technology and Sustainable Development, the School offers a comprehensive suite of undergraduate and graduate degrees, developed form the ground up to embrace the very latest environmental, master planning and design guidelines.
There programs are dedicated to fostering a new breed of professionals, fired with ambition to create buildings, towns and, most importantly, communities that will serve as a lasting legacy for future generations.
