Qualification Overview

The HND is a Level 5 qualification, equivalent to the second year of a UK Bachelor’s Degree, and includes an embedded Level 4 qualification, the HNC. This pathway leads to the final year of a Bachelor’s Programme. The HND in Business is designed to progressively enhance your understanding of business and management. It covers various areas such as marketing, finance, and business strategy. During your studies, you will also be required to work on your own business research project, providing you an opportunity to practically apply your business concepts.

Credits earned through an HND are equivalent to the first two years of an undergraduate programme. Consequently, many universities in the UK and internationally may offer you a place in the third or final year of a degree course, thereby saving you from having to start your undergraduate studies from the beginning.
