Bond University Master of Business Administration: application checkpoints before you choose an adviser

Choosing an adviser for a Bond University MBA application comes down to a short list of published conditions: the entry degree and work-experience requirement, the English score floors, the tuition figures and the credit-point structure. The program is the Master of Business Administration, code BN-13143, CRICOS 108627A, a Masters Degree (Coursework) in Business, Commerce and Entrepreneurship.

Entry: a degree in any field plus three years of work

Two conditions apply together.

• A recognised bachelor degree, or equivalent qualification, in any field.
• A minimum of 3 years work experience in any field.

An applicant presenting a recognised four-year bachelor degree from China or Taiwan, equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree, is assessed against those two conditions.

English: which test, and the floor

IELTS Academic: overall 6.5, with no sub-score below 6.0.

PTE Academic: overall 58, with no communicative score below 50.

Tuition: per semester and for the whole program

The 2026 international rate is AUD 20,358 per semester.

The total program rate is AUD 81,430.

Bond describes tuition as indicative: it varies with the subjects chosen and the year of entry, and the rate for the year you enrol applies.

Credit points, specialisations and length

Compulsory subjects carry 80 credit points.

Elective subjects carry 40 credit points and are used to tailor the degree.

The 80 compulsory and 40 elective points make up the 120-credit program.

Seven specialisation options are available.

The program runs 4 semesters, or 1 year 4 months.

Before you commit to an adviser

Work through these four checks against whatever summary you are given.

1. Degree and work experience: confirm the two entry conditions are quoted in full, including the field-of-study wording.
2. English: confirm which test your score is being measured against, and which floor applies.
3. Tuition: confirm whether a quoted figure is the per-semester rate or the total program rate.
4. Structure: confirm the compulsory and elective split, the number of specialisation options and the number of semesters.

A summary that shifts the English floor, drops the work-experience minimum or mixes the per-semester rate with the total program rate is not the published program condition.

Tuition and conditions follow the year of enrolment; the University’s published details for that year govern.
