Structure

The HD suite of programmes at ICBT provides an excellent example of widening participation in a country where there is not enough University supply to fill the demand for higher education. Students can enter the HD programmes after studying for 13 years in the formal education sector through either having studied for A levels, or having undertaken the Foundation programme after studying for O levels. Other level 3 qualifications will also be considered for suitability for entry to the programmes. For the engineering programmes, students must have studied maths, biosciences and/or technology whereas for Quantity Surveying, any subjects will suffice. Students have been entering these programmes with these qualifications for many years and have been successful in achieving the qualifications.
