As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping our courses up to date and aligned with current industry standards, this programme has been updated from a Higher National Certificate (HNC) to a Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) for students starting from September 2026.
If you are currently enrolled on the HNC programme, this change will not affect your studies, and you will still receive an HNC qualification upon successful completion of the course.
