Propedeutic International Business
A propedeutic (propedeuse) is the first year of a university of applied sciences or research university bachelor’s program. The propedeutic serves as proof that you have earned all credits for your first year of study. You will receive an overview of the modules and credits you have earned from Pearson and from Kronenburgh.
At the end of the first year you can start working or continue your studies at Kronenburgh to obtain the Higher National Diploma HND.
Associate degree / Higher National Diploma HND
With an Higher National Diploma (HND), you obtain a legally recognized higher professional education qualification—at NLQF level 5—in just two years. In the Netherlands this is called the Associate degree (Ad). But it is not easy to compare the Dutch and English education system. Accoording to Nuffic HND is compareble with the third year of the university of applied science. But whitin the English education system HND gives acces to the last year of the Bachelor of Science BSc or the Bachelor of Arts BA at the Universities. So again we conclude HND is a higher level.
After obtaining the HND you can start working or you opt for the Top-up at a university abroad.
Top-up
The next step in the bachelors’ programme is the Top-up program. This academic year builds on the HND program and takes you to the bachelors’ level. At the Top-up you can choose (I) 1 year full-time study at a university abroad, or (II) 1.5 years part-time study at the University of Essex.
(I) Full-time Top-up at University abroad
Studying at a university abroad is an immensely valuable experience and will feature prominently on your CV for a lifetime.
With the Level 5 Higher National Diploma HND RQF you can access the Top-up program at many universities in the field of “Business and Management” or a similar field of study.
The specifications of the Top-up lecture program and the organization of education differ per university. Keep in mind that the admission requirements of these universities are subject to change. For example, additional or different requirements can be set every year for the level of English, the level achieved at HND, etc.
(II) Part-time Top-up at University of Essex | online
