An associate degree from the USA or Caribbean may give you the opportunity to study various undergraduate online courses from a UK university. This eligibility is dependent on the associate degree subject you have completed.

Associate degrees from the USA and Caribbean are usually equivalent to the first year of a three-year UK university undergraduate degree. Holders of this qualification often find that they are able to transfer some of their study onto a UK university programme, dependent on the number of subject-specific modules that they have studied.

One common route those with associate degrees take, is to study a HND for two years and then study a one year degree top up course. These combined equal a full UK university bachelors degree that can be studied completely online.
