The new Associate Degree of Arts, Business and Sciences gives you greater access to university and is the ideal first step for students who may not have traditionally qualified for university entry.

The Associate Degree is a two year, full-time (or part-time) equivalent course which will introduce you to university study in a supported tertiary environment. You'll develop academic and problem solving skills, giving you the edge to succeed in further study or in the workforce.

The Associate Degree of Arts, Business and Sciences offers you:

• a supportive study environment
• a pathway to your dream course – with up to 18 months' credit
• a guaranteed place in a range of Deakin bachelor degrees* upon successful completion of the course
• a chance to gain valuable workplace skills
• flexible course options – choose from a variety of streams
• an opportunity to learn where you live
• state-of-the-art facilities

The Associate Degree  is  offered at our Warrnambool campus and in conjunction with our TAFE partners; Chisholm - Dandenong and Mornington Peninsula Campuses, Advance TAFE – Bairnsdale Campus, SuniTAFE – Swan Hill Campus, GOTAFE – Wangaratta Campus, and South West TAFE – Portland Campus giving you the opportunity to commence your university studies close to home.
