Learning Objectives
The objectives of the Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Business are as follows:
Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Business is designed to develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals able to meet the demands of employers in the business sector and adapt to a constantly changing world. The qualification aims to widen access to higher education and enhance the career prospects of those who undertake them.
Teaching and Learning Methods
Delivery of the module/unit will be through a blend of lectures, tutorials, seminars and workshops (if applicable). Lectures are a major part of the teaching strategy for the programme. Case studies are a teaching and learning strategy, which are employed in a range of modules: they are a useful assessment tool. Students are presented with real or simulated complex problems which they are required to analyse in detail and then synthesise/present their own solution in writing or orally.
Students are expected to take greater responsibility for their own learning as they progress through their programmes. The student-centred approach will be encouraged through the use of specific teaching strategies; case studies; projects and practical exercises (if applicable) and supplemented by the use of appropriate support materials. Active engagement with the subject material enhances learning and many of the learning strategies used attempt to promote this.
Teacher – Student Ratio
TEG teacher-student ratio will not exceed:
1:40 for lecturing
1:30 for classroom teaching; and
1:20 for tutorials
Assessment and Examinations
The Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Business is assessed by written assignments in total (of 2,500 – 3,500 words each).

Assessments relate directly to learning outcomes and one assessment usually covers a range of learning outcomes. Assessments take the form of examinations (seen/unseen, open book, essays/short answers – if applicable), report, case study, presentations, individual and/or group reports etc. All assessments are equal weighting.
