The Associate Degree is a sub-degree program providing supported study for students to bring them to a level where they could successfully undertake Bachelor Degree study at ANU within two years.
The ANU Associate Degree pathway acknowledges that there are many reasons why a student may not be ready to undertake Bachelor degree level study, but still have potential for university studies, many of which may have been because of past circumstances that are often beyond their control.
The Associate Degree allows entry of these students to study ANU courses, but with a parallel, co-requisite, course providing bridging, support, academic skills, a slower paced delivery and individual guidance to each student, so that their study experience is more likely to be successful. The full-time load for each student will be two ANU courses, and two support courses, for three semesters of study. In the final semester of study, successful students will undertake a normal full-time academic program.
Students may specialize in the areas of business, social studies or science and technology. To maximize the credit they can be granted into an ANU Bachelor’s degree they should follow one or another of these specialised streams. Courses additional to those listed as part of this program may be able to be included on a case by case basis.
Career Options
ANU provides you with more choice for your entrance score by offering the new Flexible Double Degree program.

Employment Opportunities
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.
Students articulating into a Bachelors Degree will receive up to 60 units of credit. Once enrolled in the Associate Degree, students must complete the Associate Degree to obtain the status in the Bachelors Degree.
