The associate degree is a two-year full-time qualification accredited against higher education requirements undertaken following year 12 or equivalent with mature age entry possible. The associate degree emphasises the foundational, research-based knowledge of an academic discipline and is broad-based in conceptual and theoretical content.  Associate degree graduates may have the opportunity to acquire generic employment-related skills as appropriate to the discipline(s).

The associate degree offers an exit point at the sub-degree level, or an articulated pathway into the bachelor degree for further in-depth study and professional preparation (please see below for specific requirements).

Students articulating into a bachelor’s degree will receive up to 48 units of credit.  Once enrolled in the associate degree, students must complete the associate degree to obtain the status in the bachelor’s degree.

Associate Degrees are available in Business, Social Studies and Science and Technology.
