INTAKES: OCTOBER, JANUARY AND JUNE
HNC
In most countries, an HNC is considered an equivalent to one year of university.
This means that modules that have been covered in your higher national
certificate can be skipped if pursuing an undergraduate degree along the
same stream.
HND
Level 5 qualification, an HND is equivalent to the second year of a Bachelors degree.
It takes two years of full-time study to complete, or three to four
years part time, and is designed to equip you with skills relevant to
your chosen career.
