The Level 5 Higher National Diploma is recognised by Higher Education providers as meeting admission requirements to many relevant business-related courses, for example:
Please note that the Law pathway helps students to progress to UK degree-level study and is, therefore, based on English law. An introduction to law can open up many career paths. However, a law degree is often needed for a career in the legal industry and a 2.1 university degree is usually required to become a barrister or solicitor. For these professions, students must also complete professional training after their degree – the Bar professional training course for barristers and the legal practice and professional skills courses for solicitors, in addition to a period of training for both barristers and solicitors. Centres delivering the Law pathway must manage the progression expectations of their students with this in mind. They should also make sure that articulation agreements are in place so that students can achieve a Bachelor of Laws qualification (LLB).
