Course description
General information
HND Business with option choice of either Human Resources Management or Marketing or Finance is a full-time course offered in partnership with the University of Greenwich (UoG).
It is a two year programme studied at Bromley College and students have the option to continue their studies to BA Honours level for a third year at the University of Greenwich's own Maritime campus.
Your chosen option choice of either HRM, Finance or Marketing is double-weighted (30 rather than 15 credits) and runs throughout each of the two years alongside the complementary course content for your Business HND.
The HND is designed to prepare people for active participation in the management of business. It includes a wide range of personal skills and the experience demanded by employers. Studying for a higher education award in Business will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to establish a career in business. In particular, the specialisation (Option Choice) will equip you for entry into those professional areas.
