Associate Degree in Science
University of Newcastle, Newcastle, NSW, Australia
About this program
The Associate Degree in Science is an exit-only award for students who complete two years of study in an associated Bachelor of Science program. It sits at AQF level 6 and gives students who need to leave their degree early, for example because of mitigating personal circumstances, a formal qualification to show for their study rather than no award at all. Students who later resolve the circumstances that led them to exit can return and complete the final year of their original Bachelor program.
