Associate Degree 

An Associate Degree (AD) is a two-year higher vocational programme with an accredited diploma. This new degree is tailored to the need of businesses for highly educated personnel in specific positions. Especially intermediate vocational (mbo-4) students and people with work experience increase their job prospects with an Associate degree.

After completing the two-year programme, students can continue their studies to get a Bachelor degree. Usually it is possible to shorten the bachelor programme by one year if the student completed a related vocational study programme.
