Finished secondary education

If you completed secondary education more than two years ago, you can still refer to these results in your application to study at Bond. We will also take into account whether you have additional qualifications, including formal qualifications such as Senior External Examination results, higher education study, VET study and diplomas, or work and life experience.

Overseas high school or other overseas qualifications

If you completed your secondary schooling overseas or hold other educational qualifications overseas, your application will be assessed using the Australian Government Department of Education's Country Education Profiles and QTAC assessment schedules on overseas assessment.

English language proficiency requirements

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.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic Overall score 6.5 with no sub score less than 6.0
Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic
Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic Overall score 58 with no Communicative Scores below 50

Alternative entry options

If you don't currently hold the required academic qualifications, there are other pathways for you to demonstrate that you have met these requirements, and gain entry into your program.

We understand that everyone's journey is different. So if you don't currently hold the required academic qualifications, don't worry! There are alternative pathways for you to gain entry into this program. If you would like to discuss your entry pathways, please contact us.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) Study

Your application may also be considered based on previous vocational education and training (VET) study.

Prior Higher Education Study

If you have already completed study at a tertiary institution, your application will be assessed based on the subjects you have completed or attempted to complete. If you have completed studies in a field related to this program, you may also be eligible to apply to receive credit towards your Bond qualification.

Work and Life Experience

Another way to gain entry into a Bond program is by demonstrating your work and life experience. Your professional and para-professional qualifications and experience can be considered in your application, including some creative arts, language and civil aviation qualifications, memberships of professional associations for which qualifying exams are taken, and police, defence and emergency services experience. Keep in mind that if the program has prerequisite subject requirements, you will still need to meet these.

The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT)

If you did not complete Year 12, or do not have any formal academic qualifications, you can sit the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) and use this result to apply for entry into this program.

Work Experience

You may use prior work experience to apply for entry into this program. To do so, you will need to provide documentation of your employment history, including providing a statement from your employer about your position, time in the role, and a brief overview of the role you performed.

Information for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders

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.

Credit for prior learning

If you have completed previous tertiary studies, you may be able to gain credit for previous subjects. To apply, you will need to submit your academic transcripts to the Office of Future Students, including detailed subject outlines or course descriptions for each relevant subject. We're here to help you through this process.
