Who this course is for

This is a two-year full-time university-level course awarded by De Montfort University (DMU). Over three terms per year, the programme brings together the practical and theoretical elements of management, marketing and finance and leads to a Higher National Diploma (HND) award. The overarching aim of the Business HND is to support students to acquire and develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours necessary to work effectively, confidently, and responsibly within a wide range of business organisations. It provides students with an excellent grounding in a range of business areas. Whilst this course is taught at Leicester College, the diploma is affiliated to De Montfort University and with this you can enjoy the benefits of DMU's extensive library and student union at its campus in Leicester city centre.
