Domestic entry requirements

If you are currently in Year 12 or your final year of high school, you can apply to Bond using your predicted ATAR and high school results to receive a conditional offer into your program. Offers for current Year 12 students will be made from early September.

EXPLORE PROGRAMS

If you have completed your secondary school qualification and graduated from high school  you can use your ATAR, OP or IB score (or equivalent) to gain entry to Bond. But if you’ve already completed some tertiary study, you can also apply for entry based on the subjects or programs you have completed or attempted. This can include vocational education and training (VET) studies.  

When you search for your program, you will find the minimum entry score for your program. Some programs may also require the completion of pre-requisite subjects, a portfolio submission, or additional selection criteria – you'll find all this detail on the program’s webpage.  

To have prior higher education recognised for admission into Bond University, you must have completed at least one semester of full-time undergraduate study (Australian Qualifications Framework Level 7 or above) at a recognised university.

Your application will be assessed based on the subjects you have completed or attempted to complete at another institution. Your GPA will be assessed and you will be assigned a selection rank using the below framework.

If you have also obtained an ATAR and have completed less than two years full time study, Bond University will consider the higher ranked of the two qualifications (ATAR or GPA) for admission.

Bond University considers non-ATAR students for admission into the following diploma programs:

• Diploma of Arts
• Diploma of Built Environment
• Diploma of Business
• Diploma of Creative Design

The Diploma of Health Sciences and Diploma of Legal Studies are not eligible for an entry pathway as a non-ATAR student.

To be considered for non-ATAR entry, you must have:

• Completed Year 12 and obtained a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) or equivalent 
• Received a pass mark or higher in a minimum of three General or Applied subject (with a grade of C or better in Units 3 and 4). 

Bond University accepts VET qualifications, including Certificate IVs, diplomas, and advanced diplomas, for entry.

All applicants using VET qualifications for entry must be 18 years old or older at the time of admission, or must have completed a Year 12 certificate of education (Queensland Certificate of Education or equivalent).

Students under the age of 18 may be admitted if more than two years have passed from the completion of Year 10, or one year from the completion of Year 11.

Please note that VET qualifications are not accepted for direct entry into the following programs:

• Bachelor of Actuarial Science
• Bachelor of Biomedical Science
• Bachelor of Business Law
• Bachelor of Jurisprudence
• Bachelor of Laws
• Any combined program that includes a program mentioned above
• Medical Program

School leavers with VET qualifications

If you complete a VET qualification in school and then go on to successfully complete Year 12 (with or without an ATAR), Bond will assess your VET qualification for admission. You will be assessed based on your highest completed in-school VET qualification, and must have also successfully completed Year 12.

If you have also obtained an ATAR, then Bond University will consider the higher ranked of the two qualifications (ATAR or VET) for admission. 

Another way to gain entry to Bond University is by demonstrating relevant work and life experience. Professional experience and/or qualifications, including employment experience, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
