About Pearson Education

Higher National Diploma study with Pearson Education is the route AF Education lists across London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds. Subjects are business, computing, engineering and health and social care, a practical mix for students who want a funded degree route through an HND with a vocational emphasis. Five campus locations in those four cities make the offer usable for mature students who need to stay close to home.

Student Finance England is the usual funding body for eligible learners on these HND programmes. Study is at HND level rather than bachelor's or Masters, which suits people who want a work-related undergraduate qualification. AF Education provides free help with applications, from matching an HND subject to submitting your forms.
