Bachelor of Business
at Bond University, Queensland.
A two-year (six-semester) business degree at Bond's Gold Coast campus, accredited by AACSB and EQUIS. Bond lists a guide ATAR of 65; its published data for January 2026 school leavers shows ATARs from 65 to 80.65 (median 72.13). Bond admits directly rather than through QTAC selection ranks, so no lowest selection rank is published.
Lowest selection rank
Bond has not published a lowest selection rank for this course for recent intakes. That usually means too few ATAR-based offers were made to report one, or that selection also uses a portfolio, audition, interview or other criteria. Check the current entry requirements on the official course page.
Prerequisite Year 12 subjects
No formal Year 12 subject prerequisites; assumed knowledge may still apply.
