Entry for Australian Year 12 students

At Bond, we do things a bit differently to other universities — and that philosophy extends to our application and entry processes. If you are completing Year 12 in Australia this year, apply with your Year 11 and Year 12 Semester 1 results. Offers for current Year 12 students will be made as soon as possible. 

Here’s how you could get an offer to study at Bond University before you even sit your final exams...  

Receiving an offer to Bond in Year 12

1. Complete your application

2. Leave it with us to assess

We will assess your application and high school grades against the minimum entry requirements for Bond's undergraduate and diploma programs. Please note that our Medical Program does not qualify for direct entry — you will need to submit this application via QTAC and more information can be found on our applications to the Medical program page.

Year 12 entry Frequently Asked Questions

I’m currently in Year 12. What documents do I need to supply to apply for an undergraduate program at Bond University for 2026?

To apply, you will need your first semester Year 12 results, as well as your full Year 11 Semester 1 and Semester 2 results.

I don’t have my Semester 1, Year 12 results yet. Can I still apply?

You can start your application now, and submit your application when you have received your Semester 1, Year 12 results. If your school does not issue a Semester 1 report for Year 12, please contact our Future Students team, here, to discuss your options.

As a current Year 12 student, can I still apply once I've received my ATAR?

Yes, you can apply. Your application will be assessed based on your ATAR result. 

I completed some of my Year 12 subjects in Year 11. Am I still eligible for an offer?

Yes, your application will be assessed based on your Year 12 equivalent ATAR-eligible subjects.

Can I gain admission to any Bond program under this arrangement, or are some programs excluded?

Bond’s Medical Program is excluded, as well as all diplomas except for the Diploma of Legal Studies, however all other undergraduate programs are available, to current Year 12 students who apply prior to the release of ATAR results under the guaranteed offer scheme for 2024.

Learn more about the application process for the Bond Medical Program.

I am located outside Queensland. Am I still eligible?

Yes, current Year 12 students can apply from anywhere in Australia.  

I am an international student. Can I apply under these entry requirements?

International students studying Year 12 at an Australian high school will be eligible to apply to study an undergraduate program at Bond based on these entry requirements.

I am in Year 12 and am completing the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Can I still receive an offer from Bond?

You can receive an offer in September based on your predicted IB score and first semester Year 12 results, as well as your full Year 11 Semester 1 and Semester 2 results, conditional on completion of Year 12. 

What if I receive an offer based on my high school results, but I receive an ATAR lower than the minimum required for my program?

Your offer guarantees entry to your program conditional only on the successful completion of Year 12 (as evidenced by your final school report card and/or the State’s Certificate of Education and/or ATAR results) and passing any prerequisite subjects required.

Your final ATAR can be used to gain admission into a program of a higher entry requirement if the minimum ATAR is met, but a lower final ATAR will not result in the withdrawal of your offer. If your final ATAR is below 65, you’ll be required to complete a diploma pathway before progressing to your chosen bachelor’s degree. The good news is that this diploma program is a valuable opportunity—it’s designed to help you build the skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to succeed in your degree and beyond.

Are subject prerequisites still required?

Where prerequisites are required for admission to a program, the offer will also be conditional on passing the required prerequisite/s from ATAR-eligible Units 3 and 4, as evidenced by the final subject scores on your state’s Certificate of Education.

What Year 12 subjects and grades do I need to achieve to receive an offer?

Offers will be made based on Semester 1, Year 12 school results. Depending on the state and territory, this may be the best four or five ATAR-eligible subjects.

See below example grades for some of our programs:

ProgramExample grades or equivalent (4 subjects)Example grades or equivalent (5 subjects)Predicted IB

My Semester 1 grades aren't quite high enough for my chosen program. Can I still receive an offer?

If your Semester 1, Year 12 grades don't meet the guaranteed offer threshold for your chosen bachelor's degree, you can still be issued a conditional offer. Admission to your program will be conditional on your final ATAR results. If you are unsure about meeting entry requirements, contact us to discuss your study options.

If I receive an offer, is it unconditional?

Offers made under the revised entry requirements are conditional based on the successful completion of Year 12 and any prerequisite subjects required.

I applied to Bond, but I was not successful in receiving an offer for my first preference. What are my options?

Your first step is to get in touch with us to discuss your options. In many cases, we can offer an alternative pathway into your program of choice. If you complete a VET qualification in school and successfully complete Year 12 (with or without an ATAR), Bond will consider your VET qualification for admission. 

Will my school provide Bond with my results?

No, you will need to submit your results with your application. 

Do I still need to complete Year 12 and get an ATAR?

Yes. Your offer will be conditional upon completing Year 12 and receiving an ATAR, as well as passing any required prerequisite subjects.

Are there any changes to Bond's scholarships for 2026?

No. The scholarship process will be conducted as normal, with the eligibility criteria determined by the scholarship being applied for. Learn more about scholarships here.

You can apply for a scholarship through the Bond website. Please note you will need to submit your study application before submitting your scholarship application, and you can apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible for. 

I have received an offer for my chosen program. Can I defer my offer for a year?

As a Year 12 student this year, you can defer your offer within 2026. If you wish to defer to 2027, your offer will be assessed based on your final ATAR results. If your final ATAR does not meet the entry requirement for direct entry to your chosen bachelor's degree, you may be offered a place in a diploma or our Diploma Preparation Program. 

I completed Year 12 a couple of years ago. How will I be assessed?

If you have completed Year 12, received an ATAR, interstate ATAR, or International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma result and have not undertaken any post-secondary studies in the last two years, you will be considered for admission on the basis of your ATAR /Selection Rank/ OP/IB and assessed against your chosen program's admission requirements.  

Will Bond provide me with academic assistance once I start university?

Students also have access to a range of services including the Academic Skills Centre, the Career Development Centre and more.
