It will answer some questions that you may have and will give you some guidance on what types of course are available to you and where you can take them. It will give you links to other documents which will give you particular advice related to the BTEC subject that you are taking. It will also provide links to other organisations like UCAS and the Complete University Guide that will help you make your decision on what and where to study. There will also be some guidance on how to complete the UCAS application form.  \nSo, let’s make a start and by answering some fundamental questions that you may be asking.  \nCan I go to higher education with a BTEC National?  \nYes, each year around 100,000 BTEC National students are accepted on degree programmes (level 6) at universities in the UK. Now, over 99% of universities in the UK accept BTEC Nationals in their entry requirements for at least some of their degree programmes. Some students take shorter Higher Education courses at levels 4 and 5 (such as HNCs and HNDs) in either universities or further education colleges.  \nWhat type of higher-level qualification can I take?  \nMost students take a 3-year full-time undergraduate degree course, although a few universities offer some accelerated degrees taking 2 years.  \nSome courses are offered as sandwich degrees which usually take 4 years. [A sandwich degree is usually a four-year undergraduate course in which students undertake a placement year, or internship in industry, normally after the second year at university.]  \nIf you don’t quite meet the entry requirements, some universities offer a foundation year course prior to the degree. [A foundation year is for students who have not met the subject/content requirements of the degree they wish to progress to. Those who are successful on the foundation year course will progress to the degree programme of their choice. Foundation year programmes are offered mainly in subjects such as science, engineering, and computing.]  \nYou could take a shorter HE course and, if you wish, top it up to a degree later. These include:  \n• one year – HNC [A Higher National Certificate (HNC) is a higher education vocational qualification at level 4 equivalent to one-third of a full honours degree. You will probably find one in a subject related to your BTEC National subject. HNCs are offered as a one-year full-time programme, although there may also be the option to study part-time.]  \n• two years – HND [A Higher National Diploma (HND) is a higher education vocational qualification at level 5 equivalent to two-thirds ofa full honours degree. HNDs are offered as a two-year full-time programme, although there may also be the option to study part-time. You will probably find one in a subject related to your BTEC National subject. Some universities allow students to top up an HND to a full honours degree through a further year of full-time study. You will need to check with individual Higher Education Institutions to find out whether they will allow this for the HND you have taken.]  \n• two years – foundation degree [A foundation degree is a higher education level 5 qualification that is equivalent of two thirds ofa full honours degree. Foundation degrees are in vocational subjects and are offered as a two-year full-time programme, although there may also be the option to study part-time. Normally you can continue for a further year to gain a full honours degree.]  \n• One or two years – Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) [HTQs are a new category of  \nqualification, recently introduced by the government. They are based on a common set of standards with apprenticeships/T Levels and have been approve","cbCaibAMlP3ag54q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibAMlP3ag54q","pdf",616641,28,"English","# Guidance for BTEC Students on Progression to Higher Education\n## Can I go to higher education with a BTEC National?\n## What type of higher-level qualification can I take?\n## Where can I study?","[{\"question\":\"Can I go to higher education with a BTEC National?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
