Laura Hagan

Diploma of Legal Studies > Bachelor of Laws > Solicitor at Merthyr Law

My Bond University journey was challenging yet so incredibly rewarding. Learning alongside students from all over the world, by expert lecturers allowed me to grow as an individual, a student and a professional. I felt supported, encouraged and pushed to the absolute best of my ability. Further, Bond programs provided real world skills which have helped boost my confidence, knowledge and abilities. Now I have graduated I am a Solicitor at Merthyr Law. I loved every minute of my Bond experienceicon icon-ellipsistab#testimonial-more-38659testimonial-more-38659testimonial-tab testimonial-more fadetestimonial-wrappertestimonial-imageimg-circle img-responsivehttps://static.bond.edu.au/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail_square/public/testimonials/Laura%20Hagan%20Prof%20Photo%206.jpg?itok=5nM2GAdu200200testimonial-titletestimonial-subtitletestimonial-body.
