Subject credit point weighting
Every subject offered is allocated a weighting which defines:
(1) the credit the subject carries towards the total credit points required for award of a particular degree program and
(2) the portion of a full time student workload (40 points per semester) occupied by that subject. In this handbook, ‘subject’ indicates a standard 10 credit-point subject, unless otherwise specified.
Admission requirements
The Faculty considers a range of factors in determining admission to undergraduate programs. All programs are subject to Bond University regulations applying to all undergraduate or postgraduate programs. Exception cases are noted in this Faculty Website and Handbook (like the English as an International Language Programs).
The Faculty reserves the right to scrutinise each application to assess the appropriateness of a candidate for enrolment in a particular program, and to approve or refuse admission to any candidate. This will apply especially to candidates for places in postgraduate coursework programs, where the nature and standard of an individual’s prior formal studies or professional experience may be of the greatest importance in assessing likelihood of success in a particular program.
Domestic student admission
Australian Residents living in Queensland
All Queensland students wanting to apply for undergraduate studies must apply through Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC): www.qtac.edu.au or contact QTAC on 1900 971 166

Study Abroad admission
Study Abroad students will generally have completed their first year at their home institution.
Students applying to Bond are required to have a minimum GPA of 2.5 in the American grading system or equivalent. Please check with your individual Study Abroad department to make sure you meet all other requirements.
If English is not your native language, you will also need to provide formal evidence of English language proficiency. For further information on Bond’s English language requirements, please refer to the English Language requirements table.
Complete an Application Form.
Submit your completed application form, along with:
* certified copies of your academic transcripts (if transcripts are not in English, they must be translated and certified before submitting)

* a list of six to eight subjects the student intends to enrol in.
Completed applications should be submitted to the attention of the Study Abroad Coordinator or Representative closest to your region. Applications may be submitted via fax initially as long as original transcripts are forwarded in the mail.

Students will need to complete an Application for International Admission available from the Office of Recruitment and Admissions, or apply online now:
Credit and exemption for previous study elsewhere
Credit may be granted towards degree programs in the Faculty only for subjects formally completed at other approved tertiary educational institutions, or Faculties of Bond University. Each credit granted reduces the number of subjects required for the degree by one.
Credit will be granted only where the subjects concerned are equivalent (in terms of subject area, subject level, standard of assessment, and credit point weighting) to subjects offered by this Faculty. APS accreditation requirements prevent the granting of credits towards the Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology or Psychology Honours programs for subjects completed at other institutions.
Credit granted may be for specified Humanities and Social Sciences subjects and majors, or for unspecified subjects or majors.
For any degree program, like an Associate Degree which is a component part of another program, all work completed for that first program may be credited toward the more substantial award.
Exemption (as opposed to credit) from core course requirements, normal subject Prerequisites and other rules may be granted on the basis of prior formal study, professional experience, or personal skills and experience. An exemption must be replaced by another subject.
Each application for credit must be supported by the following:
* A certified copy of transcript or other formal record of results achieved in subjects for which credit is claimed;
* Details for relevant handbooks or subject and course descriptions sufficient to permit an assessment by the Faculty of the suitability of each subject.
Each application for credit or exemption must be submitted in writing with supporting documentation.
It is the responsibility of each applicant, at his or her own cost, to provide all documentation required for consideration of an application for credit. Applications for credit and exemptions must be submitted to the Faculty Services Office, with documentation, no later than the end of the first semester of enrolment unless there are exceptional circumstances as approved by the Dean.
Changes and variations to students programs
The Dean will be responsible for approving credit and exemptions, and variations and changes to student programs.
Honours degree programs
Bachelor Honours degree programs are offered in the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Psychology). This Honours program comprises two full-time semesters (80 credit points of coursework and thesis subjects). To be admitted to Honours, students must have completed the requirements for the appropriate Bachelor’s degree, normally with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or better, based on:
4 = High Distinction
3 = Distinction
2 = Credit
1 = Pass
