ESOFT Campus graduation ceremony

The first ever graduation ceremony for the Buckinghamshire New University Degree Programmes was held recently at the Ramada Hotel with the participation of the Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Derek Godfrey.

A total of 21 students graduated including five First Class Degree Holders. The Edexcel HND + Top Up Degree option is now even more popular thanks to an innovating offer from ESOFT where students receive a free laptop computer to aid them in their studies.

Students that completed their Advanced Level exams at this session can enter into the Edexcel Higher National Diploma (HND) Programme choosing either the Computing or Business Management fields. This is a modular programme that can be completed in a period of 1 ½ to 2 years. Thereafter, students can complete their Bachelors Degree via the partnership that ESOFT has with the Buckinghamshire New University. Top-up (final year) degree programmes are currently available in the form of B.Sc (Hons) in Computing, and B.A. (Hons) in Business & Finance.

Even if your child wishes to follow a different stream, or wishes to enter into state university, we can offer part time classes on the weekends thereby allowing your child to gain a double qualification which would definitely provide a more solid foundation for the future.

Compared to the option of sending children to overseas universities, this option is several times more economical and it is safer as well since your loved ones stay close to home. The Edexcel HND + Top Up Degree option is popular due to the fact that the HND gives the student a qualification that is equivalent to the first two years of a British Honours Degree, thereby allowing the student to enroll directly into the final year. Compared with those that go through the conventional pathway, this allows for a considerable saving in time.

Edexcel HND is a modular programme, where each subject is assessed via an assignment where the student has to demonstrate knowledge of the subject area. There are no written exams.
