Bond University lists 2026 international tuition for the Master of Communication at AUD 62,360 for the total program, or AUD 20,787 per semester. The program is listed as one year across three semesters. The Master of Communication (Professional) is listed at AUD 73,830 for the total program and 92 weeks. Both are Masters Degree (Coursework) programs in Communication, Film, and Creative Media.
The combined Master of Communication/Master of Project Management is a separate award. The entry, duration and tuition details below are for the Master of Communication and the Master of Communication (Professional).
Entry requirements
Both communication awards use the same admission criteria. An applicant needs successful completion of a recognised bachelor degree, or an equivalent qualification, in Communication; Society and Culture; Education; Business and Management.
The published wording ties the degree to one of those named areas.
Bond lists the same English requirements for both. IELTS Academic requires an overall score of 6.5 with no sub-score below 6.0. PTE Academic requires an overall score of 58 with no Communicative Scores below 50. These scores apply to both awards, so the English threshold is not a point of difference between them.
Program identity
The Master of Communication carries program code HS-23095 and CRICOS 078660G. The Master of Communication (Professional) carries HS-23080 and CRICOS 063308C.
Both sit in Communication, Film, and Creative Media. Both are coursework masters. Those shared labels matter for readers comparing the awards: the difference is not the qualification type or the study area.
Duration and credit points
The Master of Communication has 110 compulsory credit points and 10 elective credit points, for a total of 120. Bond lists the completion time as one year over three semesters.
The Master of Communication (Professional) has 125 compulsory credit points and 40 elective credit points, for a total of 165. Bond lists the completion time as 92 weeks.
Credit points are the measure Bond uses for subject load. Compulsory points are the subjects the program requires. Elective points are the part used to tailor the degree. The two totals let applicants compare the awards on the same published measure, separate from tuition.
The Master of Communication has a smaller elective component. The Professional award has a larger total and a larger elective component. Alongside that difference in load, Bond lists three semesters for the first award and 92 weeks for the second.
2026 international tuition
The Master of Communication is AUD 20,787 per semester and AUD 62,360 for the total program. The Master of Communication (Professional) is AUD 73,830 for the total program.
Bond describes the tuition figures as indicative. The amount varies with the subjects selected and the year of commencement. The charge for the year of commencement applies. A per-semester figure is therefore a published rate for the named year, not a promise that every study plan will produce the same total.
Because the entry criteria and English scores are the same, the two awards do not present different published admission thresholds. The practical comparison is time, credit load and tuition. The Master of Communication has the shorter listed duration and the smaller total. The Master of Communication (Professional) has the longer listed duration and the larger total. Its total tuition is also higher. The shared admission rules stay constant across both.
What the program description adds
Bond's program description says students are mentored by industry experts. It names national and international advertising, public relations, and strategic communication professionals, high-profile consultants and published authors. That description applies to the communication awards.
Regional entry information
Bond's regional entry information lists China and Taiwan. For a Chinese or Taiwanese four-year bachelor degree, the qualification is described as a recognised four-year bachelor degree equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree. The same field requirement applies: Communication; Society and Culture; Education; Business and Management.
For a later intake, the applicable tuition is the amount Bond University publishes for that commencement year.
