Subject selection

Student for a Semester subject selection

As a Student for a Semester, you’ll complete one full university subject when you’re still in high school. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about Bond, get used to the structure of university classes and assessment, and to test drive a study area before you commit to a degree.

The subject you choose should reflect your interests and future career or study aspirations. Remember that Student for a Semester subjects can be credited towards your full degree at Bond University if they align with that particular study area and program.  

View all subjects and class times available in the September 2026 semester below. Places in each subject are limited and applications are assessed as they are received, so we recommend applying early. As demand may exceed available places, we cannot guarantee an offer for your preferred subject. If a subject is offered during school hours, you will need to seek approval from your school to attend your classes, as all classes must be attended in person.

Applications for the September 2026 semester open Friday, 24 July.
