The Associate Degree in Science is a foundational 2-year qualification designed for students aiming to pursue further studies in scientific fields or enter science-related professions. This program covers core principles in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and English communication skills, enabling learners to build strong analytical, problem-solving, and academic writing abilities. It serves as a pathway to bachelor's degrees in natural sciences, pre-medical studies, engineering, and allied disciplines.
The program is divided into 2 academic years (4 semesters), with progression from foundational to intermediate-level scientific concepts. Each subject is covered in two progressive modules, promoting depth in knowledge and applied understanding.

Graduates of the Associate Degree in Science can:
Progress to a Bachelor's in Science, Engineering, Medicine, or Allied Health
Work as laboratory assistants, research aides, science educators (junior level), or data entry specialists in medical, environmental, or academic fields
Prepare for standardised exams (e.g. SAT, ACT, or transfer credit evaluation for US/European institutions)
Candidates must meet one of the following:
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Science background (biology, chemistry, or related subjects preferred).
- English proficiency (for non-native speakers, an English test may be required).
The Associate Degree in Science provides a solid academic foundation for students aiming to continue their education in science, technology, engineering, and health-related fields. Upon successful completion of the program, students have multiple academic progression options:
Graduates may enter the second or third year (depending on credit transfer policies) of a Bachelor’s degree in disciplines such as:
- Bachelor of Science (BSc) – General or specialized
- Bachelor of Biomedical Science
- Bachelor of Environmental Science
- Bachelor of Health Science
- Bachelor of Engineering (BEng)
- Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Technology
- Bachelor of Computer Science (with appropriate electives or bridging courses)
- Bachelor of Mathematics or Statistics
Graduates may also pursue technical certifications or training for roles such as:
- Laboratory Technician
- Clinical Research Assistant
- Environmental Field Technician
- Science Educator (entry-level/tutoring)
- Pharmacy or Medical School Preparation (with further studies)
With further undergraduate study, students can later progress to:
- Master’s Degrees (MSc, MEng, MPH)
- Doctoral Programs (PhD, MD, DSc)
- Professional Certifications (MChem, Chartered Scientist, etc.)
The program is designed with international credit frameworks (e.g. US Credit Hours and ECTS), making it suitable for credit transfer to universities in the USA, UK, Europe, Australia, and Asia, subject to institutional policies.
