HND programmes are well recognised by employers. However, an increasing number of students use the HND as a stepping-stone to a Degree. The programmes are divided into 2 main areas - core modules and option modules. Core modules are undertaken by all students and cover fundamental business knowledge and skills. The HND programmes feature a common core on the first year which includes modules such as Market Relations, Operating Environment, Managing Finance and Information, Financial Accounting Framework, Marketing and Personnel Management in the Organisation.
