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 a Travel & Tourism management degree from a UK university.

The BTEC Higher National Diploma is awarded by Pearson and The City College works in partnership with this body to deliver the programme. As the governing body, Pearson has validated and accredited 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 review.
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 management subjects at a higher level.
