Software Development HND

Looking to get your career in digital or tech started? This Software Development course is for anyone looking to develop their understanding of Digital Technologies, who wants to develop specialist technical knowledge, and a broad skillset that will help them to find employment.

What will I do?

The Digital Technologies HND in Software Development Level 5 gives students the opportunity to specialise in a digital-technology-related occupational area and to progress to degree-level study.

The units prepare students to move on to specific areas of digital technologies at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision making.

Is it for me?

Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of digital technology situations.

What’s next?

After studying a Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Digital Technologies, Software Development, students will have a sound understanding of the principles in their area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely in the area of digital technologies. They will be able to perform effectively in their specialist area.

MK College and the South-Central Institute of Technology (SCIoT) are partnered with The Open University to produce a route to a full honours degree which represents a real cost saving for students. Following the completion of your HND (Higher National Diploma), you can top-up with the Open University to achieve a BSc (Hons) Computing and IT Practice.
