Introduction
The HNC in Business is a two-year, part-time course that offers a broad business education leading to a nationally recognised qualification valued by employers. The course aims to provide vocationally based education which can act as a foundation for a range of business careers and also for self-employment. The programme is designed to make you more immediately effective in current and/or future employment. It also provides a basis of transferable skills, personal qualities and attitudes to underpin the development of your future career.
The course is delivered through a series of lectures and tutorials, with the units being assessed either through coursework or by examination. The course is delivered entirely at Leek College, on behalf of Staffordshire University. Due to small class sizes and a friendly, supportive environment we have enjoyed excellent rates of success, and, wherever possible, aim to meet students' individual needs.
Entry Requirements

Mature students are welcome - there are flexible entry requirements for those over 21 based on an interview with the Admissions Tutor.
Duration
The course lasts for two years with lectures on Tuesday afternoons / evenings, from approximately 1pm to 8pm.
Assessment
Units are assessed through a combinated of coursework and examinations. As the course is a vocational course, you will find that much of the work you will complete is based on your experiences and knowledge from the workplace.
Progression
This part-time course aims to equip students with the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for employment in business and management at supervisory or middle management level. Many students decide to convert their HNC into a degree by progressing directly onto one of the top-up degrees in business and management. You may also progress on to other related degree programmes. You could also use this award to gain exemptions from a range of professional examinations offered by bodies such as the Chartered Management Institute, the Institute of Personnel Development or the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
