Associate degrees are a two-year higher education qualification based on employability, hands-on skills and practical outcomes. There's also the option to undertake further study – following your associate degree you can progress to achieve a bachelors degree with one extra year's study.

Depending on the course, you could also achieve diploma or advanced diploma qualifications for study completed throughout an associate degree, exiting with more than one qualification.
