Applying to Master of Communication / Master of Communication (Professional) / Master of Communication/Master of Project Management at Bond University: what the official pages say
Both Bond University communication master's programs accept a recognised bachelor degree in communication, society and culture, education, business or management.
Bond University offers the Master of Communication and the Master of Communication (Professional) as coursework master’s degrees for international applicants. The standard degree runs 1 year over 3 semesters. The Professional version runs 92 weeks. Both ask for the same type of bachelor degree and the same English scores. This guide covers those two programs.

Bond states these figures are a guide only. Actual fees vary with the subjects you choose and the year you start, and the fee in force in your entry year applies.
Academic entry requirement
Both programs ask for the same thing: successful completion of a recognised bachelor degree, or an equivalent qualification, in communication, society and culture, education, business or management.
Entry for applicants from China and Taiwan
Bond lists region-specific entry for both countries, and the wording is identical for both programs.
- China: a recognised 4-year bachelor degree equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree.
- Taiwan: a recognised 4-year bachelor degree equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree.
In both cases the degree must also meet the field requirement above.
English language requirement
Both programs list the same scores for two tests.
- IELTS Academic: overall 6.5, with no sub-score below 6.0.
- PTE Academic: overall 58, with no Communicative Score below 50.
Bond also accepts TOEFL iBT for these programs.
What the programs promise
Both program pages describe the same learning approach. Students are mentored by industry experts, including national and international advertising, public relations and strategic communication professionals, high-profile consultants and published authors. Students also build expertise in an area of specialisation of their own.
Choosing between the two
The facts above point to a few practical differences.
- The standard degree is shorter: 3 semesters against 92 weeks.
- The Professional degree carries more credit points: 165 against 120.
- The Professional degree has a higher listed total tuition: AUD 73,830 against AUD 62,360.
Entry and English requirements are the same, so these three points are where the two programs differ in what Bond publishes.
