Diploma of Creative Design
Whether you’re looking for a pathway to an undergraduate degree or contemplating a career change, Bond University College’s diploma programs are the ideal steppingstone to university studies.
To help you manage your transition to study, our flexible programs allow you to customise your subject load – starting with one or two subjects part-time and building to full-time as your confidence grows.
The Diploma of Creative Design is an extended program offering a reduced subject load. It comprises nine subjects (diplomas are usually eight subjects) taken over three semesters, so you are only studying three subjects each semester, rather than the usual four.
It offers a direct pathway into a broad range of undergraduate programs, including business, commerce, communication, creative arts, film and television, international hotel and tourism management, journalism, social science, and sport management. The program structure is individually tailored to your future undergraduate studies so you will transition seamlessly into the third semester of your chosen bachelor’s degree.
One of the key benefits of opting to start your university studies with a diploma is the extra support Bond University College offers. You’ll be going to lectures with undergraduate students but attending tutorials specifically for diploma students. There’s more face-to-face teaching time in small group classes. You’ll also have access to one-on-one tutoring, workshops and targeted study help through the Academic Skills Centre.
