What PickMyUni sees students ask most (and a straight answer)
“Can I start smaller and still reach a bachelor?”
Yes — AIH lists Diplomas and Associate Degrees as nested qualifications/exit awards within some bachelor pathways (example shown in Hospitality & Tourism and Project Management).
If you tell PickMyUni your academic history and target role, we’ll usually suggest the shortest safe pathway that still meets your goals.
“Do postgrad courses have exit options if I don’t finish the master?”
Some do. For example, the Master of Business Information Systems (Cyber Security) page explains exit options at Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma points (based on units completed).
That matters for planning risk, time, and budget.
