HND vs Foundation after 3 gap years?
What is the difference in difficulty between the two?
I finished A Levels in 2015 with CDD (Maths, Phyics, Computing respectively). I want to study Computer Science at Uni.
I'm wondering what the best way is to ease myself back into education and work towards a computer science degree and then hopefully a Masters in Cyber Security.
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but in a HND are you working professionally while studying at Uni? Similar to an Apprenticeship? Or are you doing practical work? Like coursework?
From some articles I get the impression people are working professionally and studying but I cannot find anything like this on Uni sites. I assume people who do HNDs part time work at the same time?
