Course programme
Programme Structure
The normal timescale for an HND by full time study is two years and, although you will receive a Diploma certificate at the end of those two years, you will, at the same time, have completed the equivalent of the first two years of an undergraduate Health & Social Care degree from a UK university.
The BTEC Higher National Diploma is awarded by Pearson and The City College works in partnership with this organisation to deliver the programme. As the awarding organisation, Pearson has approved The City College to offer a variety of HND qualifications. The College’s management team is then responsible for ensuring that the quality of the provision offered meets Pearson’s exacting conditions and standards.
Quality is monitored regularly through visits from Pearson’s External Examiners and regular management reviews.
The HND is a 16-unit qualification of which eight units are mandatory core units, and a further eight units are chosen by the College from a list generated by Pearson. Taken all together will be 16 units that will give you an excellent grounding for going on to study all these important health and social care practice, and management subjects at a higher level.

Additional information
Your academic year is divided into three terms, in each term you will normally study 2-3 units, split between core units and specialist units. Each unit is assessed by a single assessment instrument which will be either an assignment or an examination. Overall, you will be expected to attend College for lectures for a minimum 15-18 hours every week. Work Experience Requirement
Are you currently working in the health and social care sector? If so, you must provide proof of this. If you have never worked in the sector, you will be required to commit to finding suitable work early on in your course. The College will assist you with this, but the responsibility for finding suitable work experience rests with you. Please be aware that you must be able to prove that you have a minimum of 200 hours of relevant work experience in order to be able to achieve the HND in Health & Social Care. This is a mandatory requirement of the course and there is no way around this.
