EDULINK International Campus offers high quality HNDs from Scottish Qualification Authority

• World recognised qualifications that pave the way for world recognised degrees

Working in partnership with the Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA), EDULINK International Campus (EIC) now offers a range of higher national diplomas (HNDs) that provide a wide range of high quality, internationally recognised and industry relevant qualifications that  offer guaranteed entry into the degree programs of two of the top ranked UK universities, the University of Northampton and the University of Greenwich.

SQA is an internationally renowned provider of qualifications, assessments, accreditations and certifications and has 100 years’ experience in developing qualifications and qualification systems and over 20 years’ experience of working internationally in partnership with governments, colleges, universities, schools and industries throughout the world.

Many professional bodies in the UK recognise the quality and value of an SQA HND qualification. This has led to a high number of professional bodies to enter into agreements with SQA which recognises this value by way of articulation and professional recognition by offering exemptions (partial and full) to professional body exams.
