Subjects
You may want to continue studying a vocational subject that you've taken your advanced diploma in, eg:
- Business, Administration and Finance

- Engineering
- Hospitality and Catering
- Humanities
- Information and Technology
- Land Based and Environmental
- Manufacturing and Product Design
- Public Services
- Retail
- Science
- Sport and Leisure
- Society, Health and Development
- Travel and Tourism
Or you may want to take a different subject altogether* or a more general subject*.
You can also combine subjects for a joint honours degree
Types of courses
Foundation degrees/HNDs (usually two years)
To get onto one of these, you'd need the progression diploma part of your advanced diploma.
Bachelors/honours degrees (usually three years)
To get onto one of these, we recommend you take the full advanced diploma. This means you'll have done some additional or specialist learning as part of the qualification, such as A level Biology.
We also think it's a really good idea to take the extended project part, because you'll be more prepared for university level study.
*For some degrees, you'll need specific subject knowledge. For example, if you wanted to study Biology at degree level, you'd need to take an extra qualification with your diploma that had a lot of Biology in it.
