Diploma of Arts
Bond University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
About this program
A Bond University College pathway diploma, about eight months (two semesters) full-time, made up of around eight first-year subjects across humanities and social sciences, taught with extra academic skills support in small diploma-only classes. On completion, students receive guaranteed entry into most Bond undergraduate arts and social science degrees with roughly 80 credit points of advanced standing, joining the bachelor from third semester. It suits students who do not meet direct entry for a Bond bachelor or who want a supported first year. Bond College runs the same model in Business, Built Environment, Health Sciences and Legal Studies, plus a one-year Creative Design diploma.
