EQF (European Qualifications Framework)

All BTEC Diplomas are fully recognised and aligned with EQF Levels as follows:

BTEC First Diploma – EQF Level 3BTEC National Diploma – EQF Level 4BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) – EQF Level 5 (equivalent to two yours University degree)

The BTEC Higher National Diploma is a direct entry to the last year of the BSc (Hons) degree in Computer Science.

How are BTEC qualifications assessed?

BTEC qualifications are not exam-based qualifications. Exams work well for some students but others find them rather daunting and struggle to see how they fit into the real world of work. Instead, students study real-life, work-based case studies and complete projects and ssessments, which contribute to achieving each unit studied.

Each BTEC Diploma course is made up of units. The number of units is dependent on the level and size of BTEC being studied. In order to complete each unit, students must achieve against a set of outcomes. The assessment criteria address theory with practical exercises. The assessment process is ongoing, so it allows the student to analyse and improve their own performance through their course in much the same way as they would in a real workplace. The projects that students undertake form the basis of their unit results which are graded as a Pass, a Merit or a Distinction.
