Higher National Diploma

The Level 5 units give students the opportunity to specialise in a business-related
occupational area and to progress to degree-level study. The units prepare students
to move on to specific areas of business at Level 6 or to enter employment with the
qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and
decision-making.
Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to deal
with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation
and use both theory and practice in a wide range of business situations.
By the end of Level 5, students will have a sound understanding of the principles in
their area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely
in the business world. They will be able to perform effectively in their specialist area.
