Bond University Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Criminology: fees, intakes, entry requirements and structure
Bond University lists international tuition for the Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Criminology at AUD 25,040 per semester for 2026.
Bond University’s Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Criminology is a two-year bachelor degree completed over six semesters. The program lists four on-campus intakes at the Gold Coast Campus: September 2026, January 2027, May 2027 and September 2027. Its program code is HS-20048, and its CRICOS code is 107663E.
The degree is a Bachelor Degree. Bond lists it under Psychology, Criminology, and Social Sciences. The listing brings together start dates, tuition, entry measures, English scores and credit structure. Each part answers a different question: when the course starts, what it costs, who can enter, what English level is required, and how the degree is built.
Intakes and campus
The four listed start points are:
- September 2026 — on-campus, Gold Coast Campus
- January 2027 — on-campus, Gold Coast Campus
- May 2027 — on-campus, Gold Coast Campus
- September 2027 — on-campus, Gold Coast Campus
Each entry names on-campus study at the Gold Coast Campus. The intake list gives four points in the calendar and names the same campus for each. A reader choosing between them is choosing a start month and year.
International tuition
Bond lists international tuition for 2026 at AUD 25,040 per semester. The total program figure for 2026 is AUD 150,240.
For 2027, the per-semester figure is AUD 26,200. The total program figure for 2027 is AUD 157,200.
The university describes the tuition as indicative. It says the amount varies with the subjects chosen and the intake year. The rate for the commencing year applies.
The two year sets are separate. The 2026 set uses one per-semester rate and one total-program rate. The 2027 set uses a higher per-semester rate and a higher total-program rate. A reader comparing the two years can see the step in both figures without mixing the years.
Entry requirements
The admission criteria list an ATAR of 65 from an Australian Year 12 qualification or equivalent Selection Rank. An IB Diploma score of 24 is also listed.
The ATAR route uses the Australian Year 12 qualification or an equivalent Selection Rank. The IB route uses the IB Diploma score. Those are the two academic entry measures named in the listing.
Early entry is available for Year 12 students in Australia and Year 13 students in New Zealand who are in their final year of secondary school. Eligible students can apply for an offer before completing their studies or sitting final exams. Bond describes the early offer scheme as a way to simplify the transition to study at Bond.
English language requirements
The program lists English language tests with minimum scores:
- IELTS Academic: overall 6.5, with no subscore below 6.0
- PTE Academic: overall 58, with no Communicative Scores below 50
For IELTS Academic, the requirement has two parts: the overall score and the minimum subscore. For PTE Academic, the requirement also has two parts: the overall score and the minimum Communicative Score. A reader using either test needs to meet both parts.
Structure and specialisations
The degree lists 240 total credit points. Compulsory subjects carry 110 credit points. Elective subjects carry 60 credit points. Two specialisation options are available.
The listing separates the total credit points from the compulsory and elective categories. The total is 240. The compulsory category is 110. The elective category is 60. The two specialisation options sit alongside those credit categories.
Bond says students can tailor a specialisation to career goals in justice, criminology, psychology or law. The program also lists case analyses, research and evaluations of justice policies and programs as ways students build critical skills.
