Bond University College’s Foundation Program is designed for international students only who have completed the equivalent of Australian Year 11 and meet the English language requirements to prepare them for undergraduate study at Bond University. If you are an Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen or holder of an Australian permanent visa student, please see Bond’s Diploma Preparation Program.

The two-semester full-time study program focusses on the core academic and English language skills, as well as the key independent learning skills required for university-level studies with alternate pathways to help you transition into your chosen undergraduate program.

You’ll benefit from extra support as you adjust to your new life in Australia and our interactive, discussion-based style of learning. We offer extra face-to-face teaching sessions in small classes where teachers know you by name. Additional student support is available with access to the University’s counselling services, medical clinic and international student services team.

You’ll be part of Bond University from day one, with full access to the libraries, computer labs, multimedia learning centre, and recreational facilities.

Depending on your final Foundation Program results, you’ll have the option of enrolling directly into a Bond bachelor’s degree or continuing on at Bond University College to study a diploma in your chosen study area followed by your bachelor’s degree at the third semester mark.
