Program overview

Bond University College offers English language classes for international students planning to enrol at Bond University. The program focusses on the academic language skills required to study at a university where all classes are taught in English.

These skills include reading, writing, listening, and speaking (including pronunciation) as well as critical thinking and research skills. The program will also help you become more competent with the technology and IT programs used at Bond, and more comfortable with the interactive, discussion-based style of learning practiced at Australian universities.

There are a range of English language classes available at different levels to suit your language abilities. Program outcomes and scheduling are designed to ensure a seamless transition into a Bond University College foundation program or diploma or a Bond University bachelor’s degree.
