These courses are free to students under 19 years old, or you can apply for an adult learner loan. HNC/HND Qualifications Higher National Certificate (HNC) and Higher National Diploma (HND) courses are equivalent to the first (HNC) and second (HND) year of a university Bachelor’s degree. Each are qualifications in their own right and having a Higher Education qualification can significantly improve your career opportunities. Once you have completed your course you’ll also have the opportunity to top up your qualification to a full degree thanks to our links with a range of universities. Annual course fees for HNCs and HNDs are less than a full degree.

Designed in consultation with employers, this focuses on developing the skills sought after in a working environment. Because of this, it is ideal for those who are seeking progression into employment or are wishing to further their current career. Equally, upon completion, you also have the opportunity to top up your qualification to an undergraduate degree. BA (Hons) With two of our courses you can gain a full BA (Hons) Degree. This is exactly the same qualification you would get if you were attending a traditional university. On completion of the course, you can then progress on to employment or a Master’s level qualification.
