Students with Third-class degree and HND in the UK

Firstly, one should know that education is a lot more than just going to school and getting a degree, it is about widening one’s knowledge, it is the passport for the future. Therefore, there are opportunities in the UK for students with a third-class degree program and a Higher National Diploma (HND) program.

THIRD-CLASS IN A BACHELORS DEGREE PROGRAM.

A Third-class degree is the lowest degree achievable in most modern universities with a grade point of 1.50 – 2.50 and a percentage of 40% – 50%.

Some students struggle to get high results during their bachelor’s degree program because they may find their course of study challenging, and unfortunately end up with a third-class degree. This may lead them to believe that they can only get jobs that involve answering telephones, making coffee, or handling a broom or a mop.

These students however are determined to further their studies and get a post-graduate degree that will open doors to more career opportunities. They should know that it is possible for them to get good opportunities to further their education regardless of their bachelors degree, and can find a decent job in a corporate organization.

A HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA (HND) PROGRAM.

A higher national diploma program is a continuation of a national diploma (ND) program which are offered by Polytechnics, Monotechnics, and colleges of agriculture accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). It is a one-year degree program that uses study and practical elements to prepare a student for a particular career.

Students with an HND degree can do a top-up degree program that will enable them to get a bachelors degree or a masters degree program.

Some students with a third-class in their bachelor’s degree program and others with just a higher national diploma (HND) program believe that they are not eligible to go for masters degree programs, however, they should be aware that admissions requirements for postgraduate courses vary by university, and an undergraduate degree is not the only factor in gaining a place for further study.

CAN HND AND THIRD-CLASS DEGREE HOLDER STUDY IN THE UK?

Yes, HND degree holders and students with a third class in their bachelor’s degree program can study a masters degree program in the UK. There are numerous opportunities for students that fall under this category, however, there are some conditions following this.
