The MLS Higher National Diploma (HND)

Who is the programme for?

The MLS HND is designed for students who wish to commence their University studies but who require additional language support to guide them through their first year or two of study.  Typically Universities require international students to have a minimum of 6.0 IELTS to obtain admission. At MLS, students can commence their HND at only 5.0 IELTS, as they will receive ongoing and integrated language support throughout their course.

What qualifications does this programme provide?

The MLS HND is offered with the UK QCA registered organization EDEXCEL.  The programme will provide students with a foundation degree equivalent level of study and successful students will be awarded with a recognised Higher National Diploma.

On successful completion of this programme students will be eligible to apply for direct entry onto a “Top up degree” (final year entry) at one of our partner Universities.  On completion of the top up degree the student will be awarded with a full Bachelor’s degree.

What tuition is included in the course?

The programme is provided over two academic years, which run in cycles.
