As an independent, not-for-profit institution, we exist for one reason: our students. All tuition fees are reinvested back into the University to build world-class facilities, provide state-of-the-art learning resources, support innovative degrees, and ensure that every student who passes through our doors has an unforgettable university experience.

Accelerated programs

At Bond, we operate on a three-semesters-per-year timetable that allows students to accelerate their studies, completing the average six-semester bachelor’s degree in just two years. This gives Bond graduates a valuable head start in the competitive careers market – permitting them to enter industry and start enacting change sooner.

We offer a range of diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate programs spanning the study areas of actuarial science and data analytics; architecture; business, commerce and entrepreneurship; communication, film and creative media; construction, property and planning; health, biomedical and sports sciences; international relations, politics and arts; law; medicine; project management and innovation; and psychology, criminology and social sciences. Explore our study areas and programs at bond.edu.au/study/our-study-areas.

The Core curriculum

Embedded in every undergraduate degree at Bond, our Core curriculum is designed to prepare students not just for a successful career, but to be socially responsible, compassionate and independent leaders.

The Core curriculum consists of three compulsory subjects across critical thinking, collaboration, responsibility and integrity, and Beyond Bond, a professional development program that helps students transition seamlessly from university to the workplace.

Our international community

Bond students come from over 90 countries, and after graduation, may decide to return home, live abroad, or continue to enjoy life in Australia. We are a CRICOS registered provider (00017B) and welcome international applications for all CRICOS registered programs, with the exception of the Bond Medical Program, which is only accessible to international students via pathway from Bond’s Bachelor of Biomedical Science.

Applying to Bond

We administer our own admission for all programs except the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD) [the Bond Medical Program]. Admission to this course is administered by QTAC.

For all other programs, students can apply directly to Bond through our free, quick-to-complete online application form and receive an offer direct from us if successful. Visit bond.edu.au/apply for more information and to begin your application, or learn more about the Medical Program in the Direct Entry Institutions section of this guide.

A range of criteria may be applied when assessing applicant eligibility for admission to Bond. Our early offer system means that applicants still completing Year 12 can receive conditional entry based on their Year 11 results and first-semester results from Year 12. You can enrol in your program of choice when you receive the minimum required score (as stated in your offer letter) upon completing Year 12. We also recognise a range of other post-secondary qualifications for admission, including the AQF Certificate IV or the successful completion of a semester of a bachelor’s degree. If you do not meet the criteria for entry into your preferred program, pathway opportunities may be available. Get in touch with us via bond.edu.au/contact for more information and to speak to someone about your circumstances.

Supporting student success

To ensure every student has the adequate resources to thrive throughout their university studies, we offer a range of support services delivered both on campus and remotely.

The Academic Skills Centre offers free consultations and guidance for any student seeking to improve their quality of work and our Career Development Centre supports students and alumni with finding work placements, internships, and professional employment.

Bond University is also committed to providing a culturally safe and supportive learning environment for all students, including Indigenous students.
