Yes, Bond University offers pathways to postgraduate study. Students who have the requisite work experience but not the academic background to satisfy course requirements may enrol in a Graduate Certificate program. At Bond, a standard subject is worth 10 credit points, and typically, Graduate Certificates are 40 credit points in duration. Satisfactory completion of a graduate certificate may be used for entry to your desired Master’s program.
While Bond offers a select group of programs with an online option, most postgraduate programs require some on-campus study. The on-campus, in-person component may be weekly forums and/or tutorials or a two-to-three-day intensive delivered once or twice a semester. Many of the forums are recorded, so they may be viewed at a later time if participants are unable to attend. However, attendance in tutorials and intensives for most postgraduate subjects on campus is required, and participation in these usually accounts for a percentage of your grade. This in-person, premium delivery sets Bond’s programs and graduates apart from the rest.
Intensive mode means that each subject is delivered in an intensive session of two or three days over two weekends during the semester. The intensives are the only “contact time” on campus. Intensive mode is only available for select programs. Reach out to our postgraduate study advisors for more information.
