Top-Up Degrees
Top-up degrees are for those who have successfully completed a HND or Foundation Degree and want to study further and progress onto the final year of an Honours degree programme.
Although a HND or a Foundation Degree is an excellent qualification in itself, depending on your career ambitions, you may decide that it’s worth studying a little longer for a BA/BSc degree. Topping up your HND or Foundation Degree will typically take one further year of study. We offer a range of study options which you could consider; day, evening or weekends. You also have the option to spread your study over a longer period of time if you wish. We would be happy to discuss what might be the best option for you.
There are a number of benefits in topping up your current qualification to an Honours degree. By completing the top-up course you will help to demonstrate to an employer that you have the academic, organisational and management skills needed for your chosen career path. Topping up to a degree at Honours level may also open up further opportunities available to you in the future.
