Four years' experience in accepting and cultivating HND students
Birmingham City University has many years of experience in teaching HND students. At present, some departments still offer HND courses. At the same time, many British students continue to complete undergraduate courses in universities after completing HND courses. Teachers of university business schools have rich working and teaching experience, and are good at effectively linking HND courses featuring professional education with academic-oriented undergraduate degree courses. Therefore, HND students from China will be guided by a group of professional and experienced teachers when they come to our university to attend undergraduate degree courses. Every year, the university successfully receives some students from HND program in China. At present, these students are in good condition, and the students who have graduated in previous years have successfully entered the postgraduate course. Our teacher is more experienced in teaching students in China.

Birmingham City University offers more than ten kinds of final-year undergraduate and undergraduate degrees, which can almost completely connect with HND programs. Through careful and strict comparison with HND center and professional institutions, the convergence of majors ensures that students will not have learning difficulties because of inappropriate majors or inappropriate majors. Each HND major can correspond to 2-3 undergraduate courses, and students have a wide choice.

Choose the courses that you like and are good at, and the possibility of students getting good grades will be greatly improved.
