Best HNC/HND to get into BA Hons Business at Strathclyde University.

I wanted to go to Strathclyde University after S6 (studying Economics, History, Politics and Computing Science), 2024/25, but I already don't meet the requirements because of my S5 results (B in English, B in Business, B in Admin and C in Biology, didn't take the maths higher test but have a B at National 5). I am looking into college courses as opposed to universities (even though I could probably get into Glasgow Caledonian, Dundee, etc), so I still can go to Strathclyde. From googling, Glasgow City College do the following HNCs: Business with enterprise, business with languages and business with HR, I already meet the entry requirements, but what just wondering what would be the best to get into Strathclyde, don't mind starting in Year 1.

Hi @Sahaib 🙂 Sorry it's taken me so long to reply - I've just come across your thread now.

If you're looking at going to college first, we have a matriculation route with Glasgow City College if you do their Diploma in Higher Education which would allow you to gain access to Year 3 of the Business courses at Strathclyde. This is a well established entry route in to our Business degrees. More info can be found here: https://www.cityofglasgowcollege.ac.uk/courses/diploma-higher-education-business-scqf-level-8-2024-08-26

If you're looking at something like a HNC then we ask for that to be in a relevant area, and if we are making a conditional offer we'd require an A in the graded unit. You can also contact the Business School at [email protected] for future admissions advice ✉️
