This means that after completion of the first two years of studies at Globe Business College, students receive an HND qualification which is recognised throughout Europe and worldwide. This qualification can be used either in the workplace or to facilitate further academic study (credits can be transferred to selected colleges/universities in over 30 countries worldwide).
