Today, social media is an important part of business, so we've updated the course to include Visual Communication: Social Media. A final graded project assesses your ability to apply what you have learned to a real-world business.
Completing this HND allows you into year 3 of a number of degree courses. You also get the chance of work experience through work placements and/or volunteering, and to meet different employers throughout the course.
My course is great because it offers so many wonderful progression routes and there are so many resources available.
