What is the difference between Associate's degree and A level courses?
An Associate's degree is a post-secondary undergraduate degree typically earned in the US that requires around two years of full-time study. A level courses are a set of UK qualifications usually studied in the final two years of high school. One key difference is that an Associate's degree provides a broader education beyond high school, while A level courses focus on specific subjects to prepare for university.
Is an associate's degree equivalent to a higher national diploma?
Yes, it is. Associate Degrees from the USA are academic in origin and are equivalent to the Diploma of Higher Education and the Higher National Diplomas awarded in the UK. Two years of full-time study makes up a US Associate's degree and this counts as two whole years towards a US Bachelors degree. The material studied for an Associate Degree is a lot harder than Scottish Highers and marginally harder than English A-Levels. If you transfer as an undergraduate to a British University after completing a US Associate Degree, you will most likely find the first year of study quite easy.
