Entry Requirements

Bond University accepts undergraduate applications from students based anywhere in the world. Our applicants typically include domestic and international students who have completed Year 12 in Queensland or elsewhere in Australia, or equivalent secondary studies in other countries. You are a domestic student if you are an Australian citizen, a New Zealand citizen or the holder of an Australian permanent visa. You are an international student whether you are within or outside Australia, and you do not meet the domestic student criteria.

As a general rule, Bond University imposes a minimum age requirement of 17 years and a minimum entry score (expressed as an OP, ATAR, IB or equivalent). Applicants require a minimum entry score equivalent to ATAR 65 or higher (equivalent to OP 15 and IB 24) to be considered for admission into our bachelor programs in Semester 1, 2021. Applicants who are about to complete their final Year 12 assessment will be also considered, based on the predicted OP, ATAR or IB score provided by their school. Applicants who do not meet this minimum entry score will be considered for admission into a Bond University College pathway program. More details on each of these options follow.
