Whether you’re looking for a pathway to an undergraduate degree or contemplating a career change, Bond University College’s diploma programs are the ideal steppingstone to university studies.

Our flexible program allows you to customise your subject load and manage your transition to study – starting with one or two subjects part-time and building to full-time as your confidence grows. Or you can complete the diploma in just eight months studying full-time and start your bachelor’s degree at the third semester mark.

Our Diploma of Arts is a direct pathway into a broad range of undergraduate programs, including communication, creative arts, film and television, global studies (sustainability), humanities, international relations, journalism, psychological science, and social science. It offers an introduction to concepts such as global citizenship and the role of languages in creating culture, as well as foundation studies in communication, international relations, and content creation.

One of the key benefits of starting your university studies with a diploma is the extra support Bond University College offers. You’ll be well prepared for academic study in your first few weeks with an intensive skills program that covers essay writing, critical reading, study techniques, and time management; there’s more face-to-face teaching time in small group classes; and you’ll have access to one-on-one tutoring, workshops and targeted study help with our Academic Skills Centre.
