The qualifications aim to widen access to higher education and enhance the career prospects of those who undertake them. The Higher National Diploma allows students to specialise by committing to specific career paths and progression routes to degree-level study. The Higher National Diploma in Business is recognised by Higher Education providers as meeting admission requirements to many relevant business-related courses.
Modules
Core: Marketing Essentials; Human Resource Management; Management Operations; Research Project (Pearson-set); Organisational Behaviour. Optional: Innovation and Commercialisation; Pitching and Negiotiating Skills.
Assessment method
The course is predominantly assessed through the completion of assignment projects. Much of the study will require work outside of formal classes, so self-motivation and good time management skills are essential. As a guideline you are advised that a 15-credit unit approximates to a learning time of 150 hours. Two core units: one 15 credit (Level 4) and one 30 credit unit (Level 5) will be assessed by a mandatory Pearson-set assignment.
