About this course
The world cannot survive without business and management. From the banking industry to retail and commerce, to hospitality, to public organizations or non-governmental entities, the reality is business skills are increasingly important in order to be successful.
The Higher National Diploma in Business is a major workplace qualification course, delivered over two years, which includes a broad range of highly relevant business and management subject areas, making it ideal for those who have started, or are planning to move into, a career in private or public sector business.
We understand that many students have pre-existing commitments that can impact the way you study, hence we’ve got a range of study options for students that allows your more to realise their academic goals. Our HND Business course that is taught at our London campus have daytime and 'flexi' study options. If you choose the daytime mode of study, you’ll normally have two days of classes (9am to 6pm) a week. In case you choose 'flexi' mode of study, you'll typically have two evenings (6pm to 9pm) and Saturdays classes a week
The HND is also recognised as being equivalent to the first two years of a UK degree. HND graduates will, therefore, gain entry into the third and final year at a university and be able to work toward obtaining a BA Honours Degree in only one further year of study.
