This program is a University Pathway program for students from non-English speaking backgrounds. Students will enter the Bachelor of Arts (English as an International Language) and after successfully completing two semesters (three University core subjects and five English language subjects) will be able to enrol in their chosen undergraduate degree. Successful completion of the two semesters of the BA (English as an International Language) leads to a Diploma in University English Studies. The two semesters of study will provide students with advanced level English language on a for-credit basis before entering the program of their choice.

Entry Requirements

Admission to this program requires English language proficiency at least at IELTS 5.5 with no band score less than IELTS 5 or TOEFL score 530 (computer-based 197). Students are also required to satisfy the University academic entry requirements and student visa requirements (regarding English proficiency) as determined by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).

Professional Outcomes:

The Bachelor of Arts (English as an International language) provides students with the opportunity to raise their English Language level during rather than prior to tertiary study. Combined with the Bachelor of Arts, students will be able to select combinations of subject areas and particular subjects which will best suit their interests and aspirations, all offering a broad set of skill which are essential to all professions.

Work Experience & Internships

There are currently no provisions in this program for work experience or internships.

Attendance

International Students: Students must undertake four subjects per semester (equivalent to 40 credit points) to fulfil student visa requirements.

Domestic Students: Most Students undertake four subjects per semester (equivalent to 40 credit points). You may, however, enrol in fewer subjects (equivalent to 30 credit points) and extend your degree over a longer period.

Bond's Teaching methodology involves a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, examinations, projects, presentations, assignments, computer labs and industry projects.

Combined Degrees

Students can combine this degree with any other undergraduate degree at Bond (except Medicine) to suit their professional and personal interests. Bond's three-semester academic year allows students to complete two degrees in the same time it would take to complete just one degree at other universities (dependant upon degree combination).
