Associate Degree in Health [Exit Only Award]
University of Newcastle, Newcastle, NSW, Australia
About this program
The Associate Degree in Health is an exit-only award for students who begin one of several University of Newcastle health degrees and need to leave before completing the full program. It sits at AQF level 6 and is available as an exit point from the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science, Bachelor of Midwifery, Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy, or Bachelor of Podiatry. Students are not directly admitted to this award; it is only granted when a student exits one of these degrees early, and the qualification is conferred as an ordinary award rather than with honours.
