It’s Interesting to Know
Degrees Degrees are higher education qualifications that help you develop a thorough understanding of a subject. There are several different types and a vast number of subjects to choose from. Bachelors degrees. A bachelor’s degree (sometimes known as an 'ordinary' or 'first' degree) can lead to a qualification such as a bachelor of arts (BA), bachelor of science (BSc), or bachelor of medicine (MB). Depending on the subject you choose, it normally takes three or four years to complete full-time. Foundation Degrees. Foundation Degrees combine academic study with work-place learning. They are broadly equivalent to the first two years of a bachelors degree. They provide a route into university or college for a broad range of students from many different backgrounds. Higher degrees. Higher (also called postgraduate) degrees, diplomas and certificates usually require that you already have a bachelors degree. They lead to qualifications such as master of arts (MA) and master of science (MSc). Higher National Certificates (HNCs) and Higher National Diplomas (HNDs). HNCs and HNDs are work-related courses provided by higher education colleges and further education colleges. They are available in a wide range of subjects from accounting to video production. Higher education diplomas and certificates. As well as HNCs and HNDs, you can study for a range of higher education diplomas in subjects as varied as accounting, construction, engineering, nursing, science, technology and textile design. They usually take two years. You can normally convert your higher education diploma to a degree with an extra year of study. Certificates of higher education are academic, rather than vocational qualifications. There are broadly equivalent to an HNC, and usually take a year of full-time study to complete.
