Apply direct anytime
We administer our own admission for all programs except the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD) [the Bond Medical Program]. Admission to this course is administered by QTAC.

For all other programs, students can apply directly to Bond through our free, quick-to-complete online application form and receive an offer direct from us if successful. Visit bond.edu.au/apply for more information and to begin your application, or learn more about the Medical Program in the Direct Entry Institutions section of this guide.

A range of criteria may be applied when assessing applicant eligibility for admission to Bond. Our early offer system means that applicants still completing Year 12 can receive conditional entry based on their Year 11 results and first-semester results from Year 12. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you’ll receive an offer from Bond University, conditional on the successful completion of your high school studies. This means you could secure your place to study at Bond in 2027 before your final ATAR results are released, giving you greater certainty about your future education plans. If you have already completed Year 12, you can use your ATAR, IB score, or equivalent to apply for your program of choice at Bond. We also recognise a range of other post-secondary qualifications for admission, including the AQF Certificate IV or the successful completion of a semester of a bachelor’s degree. If you do not meet the criteria for entry into your preferred program, pathway opportunities may be available. Get in touch with us via bond.edu.au/contact for more information and to speak to someone about your circumstances.

If you are an international student, visit bond.edu.au/bond-international for more information on the international application process.
