Hide-The HND in BUSINESS is an internationally recognised qualification. This course aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills and understanding required to work effectively in a business environment and to develop specialist expertise in the area of their choice: legal procedure and practice or accounting.

This is a two-year full time course, which requires college attendance four days per week. Work experience one day a week in a legal or business setting is an integral part of the course and is therefore compulsory.

Students are given the opportunity to study additional legal or accounting modules in each year.

The balance between the academic and the practical application of skills gives students a unique opportunity to prepare for further study and employment.
