Completion of an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited three-year sequence of study in psychology, or equivalent. Applicants are assessed on academic merit only and must have achieved a minimum GPA of 2.5 on the Bond University 4-point scale (or 70%) for all second and third level psychology subjects in their undergraduate studies. Where students have not achieved this GPA, students may be offered a place in the Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science program.
This program has some additional entry requirements that must be met in order to gain entry to this program.
Due to accreditation, the three-year sequence of study in psychology must be completed less than ten years ago.
Applicants who have obtained their qualifications outside Australia must have their qualifications assessed prior to applying for this program. The Australian Psychological Society (APS) provides this assessment service for the Board and the assessment assists the Board in determining if the student’s qualifications are equivalent to an ‘approved qualification’.
For more information on equivalency assessments please visit the Australian Psychological Society website.
Please submit evidence of your APS equivalency with your Fourth Year application.
Bond's programs are taught and assessed in English, so depending on your educational background and citizenship, you may be required to provide evidence that your English language ability meets our requirements. This may include submitting results from an approved English Language Test taken in the past two years - you can see the required results for the most common approved tests below. There are other ways to demonstrate English language proficiency and gain entry into this program, including demonstrating prior study in English, or other qualifications. If your qualification does not meet the English language requirements then you will need to provide an English proficiency test for admission.
We proudly support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applications in gaining entry to Bond. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants are encouraged to contact the Bond University Nyombil Centre for advice and assistance in applying to and studying at Bond.
If you have completed previous tertiary studies, you may be able to gain credit for previous subjects.
