The combined Bachelor of Biomedical Science / Bachelor of Laws can be completed in just four years (12 semesters). This is possible because Bond University operates on a three-semester-per-year timetable, allowing students to step into their careers sooner.

Students can choose one of two majors: the Pre-Health/Professional major or the Laboratory/Research major. The Pre-Health/Professional major includes the subject Health Communication and offers a choice of two discipline elective subjects from the fields of nutrition, exercise and sports science, psychology, and health innovation.
