There’s no doubt that the Business HND is a very valuable qualification; it is highly respected and accepted by all employers in the public and private sectors and by higher education institutions, both in the UK and internationally. It is also becoming more common to study for your Business HND through distance learning; employers and colleges respect this.

A course that is known for providing a solid grounding in effective management is the Higher National Diploma (HND) in Business Management, which students study online at the Brighton School of Business and Management; the course covers key areas in management and business, including Human Resources, Finance and Marketing.

Study Time and Assessment
Completing your HND in Business Management course generally takes around 18 months. The course comprises 16 modules, each requiring a written assignment. This is not an examined course, it is marked through a process of continual assessment.

Although students tend to complete the HND in Business Management within 18 months, you may finish ahead of time – or take longer. It’s up to you and your circumstances, as well as the rate at which you work.

Once more, the time you spend each week on your coursework varies according to your lifestyle; however our recommendation is that you devote around 6 to 10 hours per week to your course. The time of day you study is up to you – that’s the beauty of studying online!
Some prefer to work first thing in the morning, and others are happy to study into the night.

You spend your time studying for the course researching, reading reports and case studies online before you start work on your actual assignments. Your workmates and manager can be of support to you in your course, as can any subject-matter specialists you know.

Business and Management HND: A Solid Foundation
After you have completed your HND in Business and Management, you are eligible to join the 3rd year of a business-related bachelors degree at any UK university. Successfully finishing your HND means that you have the option to move on to study for a Postgraduate Diploma, or, with the right professional experience, a Masters’ business degree.

HND Course Assessment Through Assignments
All assessment is through assignment work instead of exams. From your organisation’s point of view, your assignments can be valuable consultancy projects, as in almost all the assignments you can include at least some analysis or observation of activity in your own workplace – as well as other, different, organisations and business sectors. This makes your assignments important for you personally, while also being good for your employer as you enhance your understanding of business and management styles, and will be able to compare your own organisation’s approaches with others.

This practical aspect of the course is extremely valuable and demonstrates that the knowledge you gain on the HND in Business and Management can be transferred to business applications.

All Online Courses are Tutor-led
The Brighton School of Business and Management takes supporting its students very seriously. You get tips, advice, links, guidance and hints from your personal tutor, and they are always ready to comment on your work toward your assignments.
