The foundation degree is similar to the associate degree in the United States. It follows secondary school, but is lower than the bachelor's degree. It takes two years to complete and is offered by colleges and universities within the UK.
NVQ Level 5 is equivalent to a foundation degree or higher national diploma (HND) in the UK education system. It signifies a high level of competence in a specific vocational area and is often associated with managerial or supervisory roles. This level of qualification demonstrates the ability to manage and lead in complex work environments.
A foundation degree would be equivalent to a two year associates degree. The term "foundation degree" is really particular to schools within the UK and not really used within the US. Still, its just a matter of semantics.
In the UK, diploma post-nominals usually include the term 'Dip' or 'Cert' (for example PgDip or CertHE). BSc indicates a degree and not a diploma - specifically a Bachelor's Degree in a science-related subject.
It would be similar in level to the foundation degree in the UK. However, the foundation degree is typically a vocational program of study. I believe the associate in applied science degree (AAS) in the US would be closely comparable.
The focus is different between a Higher Diploma in Education and Higher National Diplomas. A Higher National Diploma is used to learn a trade, such as nursing, construction or other vocational fields.
Yes, it is. Associate Degrees from the USA are academic in origin and are equivalent to the Diploma of Higher Education and the Higher National Diplomas awarded in the UK. Two years of full-time study makes up a US Associate's degree and this counts as two whole years towards a US Bachelors degree. The material studied for an Associate Degree is a lot harder than Scottish Highers and marginally harder than English A-Levels. If you transfer as an undergraduate to a British University after completing a US Associate Degree, you will most likely find the first year of study quite easy.
I have a total of 144 credits from my UK Higher Professional Diploma in Law and Practice. Please advise how to convert this into CGPA equivalent. Many Thanks
An Associate's degree is a post-secondary undergraduate degree typically earned in the US that requires around two years of full-time study. A level courses are a set of UK qualifications usually studied in the final two years of high school. One key difference is that an Associate's degree provides a broader education beyond high school, while A level courses focus on specific subjects to prepare for university.
There are lots of places to undertake courses in commercial management. In the UK universities such as London Business school offer a degree course. Colleges also offer a diploma level qualification, Docklands college in London is one example.
