A Higher National Diploma (HND) is a prestigious higher education qualification offered in the UK that prepares students for the real-world working environment by providing hands-on learning opportunities. Employers highly value it, and it can be used for career advancement.
This qualification can also be used as a pathway to further study at universities in many countries, including the US, Australia, Canada, and Germany. Those who complete an HND in the UK can even continue their studies for an additional year to earn a Bachelor's degree.
In comparison, a Higher National Certificate (HNC) is a one-year programme that is equivalent to the first year of university. At the same time, an HND is a two-year programme that is equivalent to the first two years of university. Therefore, the HND is considered to be a higher qualification than the HNC.
At British College, SPU, we offer a programme from England that allows students to complete a Bachelor's degree in three years. In the first year, students can obtain a Higher National Certificate (HNC), and in the second year, they can obtain a Higher National Diploma (HND). Upon completing the third year, students receive two Bachelor's degrees, one from Thailand and one from England.
