About this program

A pathway diploma run by Bond University College, about eight months (two semesters) full-time, covering roughly eight first-year business subjects alongside intensive academic skills work in essay writing, critical reading, referencing and time management, taught in small classes reserved for diploma students. On completion, students get guaranteed entry with about 80 credit points of advanced standing into most Bond undergraduate degrees, including Business, Commerce, International Hotel and Tourism Management and Sport Management, starting from third semester. It suits students who do not meet direct entry for a Bond bachelor, or who want a supported first year before joining the main degree. Bond College runs the same model in Arts, Built Environment, Health Sciences and Legal Studies, plus a one-year Creative Design diploma.
