BTEC Higher National University Recognition BTEC Higher National University Recognition January 2019 BTEC Higher Nationals have been developed in line with HE expectations, and are equivalent to the first and second year of a UK undergraduate Honours Degree. We work with a number of universities around the world to recognise and accept BTEC Higher Nationals as a qualification for entry onto an undergraduate degree. Many universities now allow advanced entry onto the second or third year of a degree. Students should be aware that university admission criteria is always subject to change and understand the course entry requirements for subject, year and grade before applying. Please find below the universities that recognise BTEC Higher Nationals. The universities highlighted in bold have direct articulations on to the second or third year of a Bachelor’s degree programme with Pearson Higher Nationals.

  • Skills and Employability Service
    Skills and Employability Service By: David Knox To: ELS partnership board Date 21/10/15 Subject Skills and Employability - Guilds Classification: Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism is the most advanced guild so far with a wide range of support across the sector, culminating in the Big Hospitality Conversation with a date yet to be decided. There was a HLTT zone at the Kent Choices 4 U Live event in March. An employability passport is being reviewed with The Abbey School, MidKent College, The Rosemary Shrager Cookery School and East Kent College. Other key stakeholders include Visit Kent and Springboard UK, Tom Oulton is currently working with them for feedback on the pilot and agreeing the next stages. We have coordinated the schools engagement for Rosemary Shrager and her apprenticeship scheme this year. Between February and May twelve events in local schools were held. The feedback has been very good, and the school has received a good level of applications for the September start. The guild plans to create a web-based portal to assist employers to signpost changing employment and skills needs to ensure providers can meet existing demand and deliver skills pipelines in advance of future requirements. The portal will provide training and skills information, advice and guidance about entry paths to the sector and a means for employers to offer work experience, apprenticeships, part and full time work and professional career opportunities. The portal will link with Kent County Council’s Kent Choices 4U site. A scoping meeting has taken place with Visit Kent about whether Transport and Logistics would be set up as separate guilds, however from discussions with employers it was agreed to keep them as part of this guild.

  • The New and the Old: the University of Kent at Canterbury” Krishan Kumar
    1 For: Jill Pellew and Miles Taylor (eds.), The Utopian Universities: A Global History of the New Campuses of the 1960s “The New and the Old: The University of Kent at Canterbury” Krishan Kumar Foundations and New Formations1 It all began with a name. A new university was to be founded in the county of Kent.2 Where to put it? In the end, the overwhelming preference was for the ancient cathedral city of Canterbury. But that choice of site was by no means uncontested. There was no lack of alternatives. Ashford, Dover, and Folkestone all put in bids. The Isle of Thanet in East Kent was for some time a strong contender, and its large seaside town of Margate, with its many holiday homes, undoubtedly seemed a better prospect than Canterbury for the provision of student accommodation, in the early years at least. Ramsgate too, with a large disused airport, was another strongly- urged site in Thanet. But as far back as 1947, Canterbury had been proposed as the site of a new university in the county. That proposal got nowhere, but the idea that Canterbury – rather than say Maidstone, the county capital, or anywhere else in Kent – should be the place where and when a new university was founded had caught the imagination of many in the county. Thanet might, from a practical point of view, have been the better site. But it lacked the cultural significance and the wealth of historical associations of the city of Canterbury. Moreover the University of Thanet, or the University of Margate or Ramsgate, did not have quite the same ring to it as the University of Kent or the University of Canterbury.3 That at least was the strong opinion of the two bodies that brought the University into being, the Steering Committee of Kent County Council and the group of the great and the good in the county that came together as “Sponsors of the University of Kent”- most prominent among them being its chairman, Lord Cornwallis, Lord Lieutenant of Kent and former chairman of Kent County Council.4 2 Canterbury having been chosen as the site, what to call the new foundation? That proved trickier.
