The Pearson BTEC Level 5 HND in Business (RQF) is a 240-credit vocational degree-level qualification taught on campus in central London. It is equivalent to the first two years of an honours degree and is designed in partnership with employers and professional bodies. The programme blends academic study with practical skills development across the core functional areas of business — marketing, finance, HR, operations and strategy — using live projects, real-world case studies and a Pearson-set research project. Successful graduates progress directly onto the BA (Hons) Business Management Top-Up at UCDG, validated by Buckinghamshire New University, or to Year 3 at a wide range of partner universities.
