HND Accounting - Year Two

This course is for learners who are looking for direct entry into year two and have already studied year one HND Accounting or HNC Accounting (either at Forth Valley College or another educational establishment).

Please note, before we can offer a place on this programme we will have to review the units that you have already achieved to check their currency and relevance. This is to ensure we can accommodate the units you need to allow you to successfully gain your HND group award.

Classes will be a mix of online and in campus. You should be aware that whilst there will be some online classes, this is not a distance-learning course. Online will still be a class-setting basis over Microsoft teams, so you will be engaging with others and your lecturer too and attendance is required in all classes (online and in campus).
