Articulation
Articulation is a pathway between full time HN courses at college such as an HNC or HND into degree at university, which have been formally identified and agreed between the college and the university.
This means that you could potentially get direct entry into year 2 of university with an HNC, or direct entry into year 3 at university with an HND.
Why articulate?
College offers the opportunity to study in a more supported environment before making the leap to university.
It also gives you the chance to explore different subjects before committing to just one.
Did you know that a HNC is the equivelent of first year at university?
