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.

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.

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.
