undergraduate programme
A flexible, industry-relevant programme designed for future professionals.




PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The Level 5 qualification, known as the Higher National Diploma (HND), is equivalent to the second year of a UK Bachelor’s Degree and is supported by an embedded Level 4 qualification, the Higher National Certificate (HNC). This qualification leads directly to the final year of a Bachelor’s program.
The HND in Business is designed to enhance your understanding of business and management by exploring various areas such as marketing, finance, and business strategy. You will also undertake your own business research project, which allows you to apply the concepts you’ve learned in a practical context.
Credits earned from completing the HND are equivalent to the first two years of an undergraduate program. As a result, many universities in the UK and internationally will allow you to enter the third or final year of a degree course, instead of requiring you to start from the beginning.
