If you’re looking to pursue a career in digital technology, our HND will help you develop a range of key skills essential for entry into this exciting and ever-evolving sector. You’ll also develop transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis which are highly valued in higher education and the workplace.
Most units on the BTEC HND level courses are worth 15 UK credits. You will be expected to commit at least 150 notional hours towards completing the learning outcomes per unit. This usually consists of a combination of direct teaching time and independent study time (e.g. preparations for research, assessments and background reading).
- We use various assessments, simulations, and role plays as part of the assessment process to address challenging areas of practice. We share with critical friends how students can be supported throughout the course of the programme in their attempts to gain voluntary hours within the sector and how experts from the field will be involved in the delivery of the programme to provide students with real-life scenarios.
- Small class sizes and individual attention enable us to help students from all backgrounds gain the qualifications needed to maximise their higher education and career prospects.
- DGHE provides workshops that are centred on the idea that a learner can build upon their learning through engaging in learning activities that are relevant to their subject areas.
- Students are supported throughout their learning to develop their knowledge, skills and values required for future employment. Teaching is frequently based upon an experiential model of learning, enabling students to develop the ‘what,’ ‘how,’ and ‘why’ of practice.
