Interesting thread. I stumbled upon it while searching for information about courses and options.
I'm coming to the end of my ND and considering my options. I've a career background in IT and now I'm retraining in arb with interests in ecology and surveys.
As it happens I started (and dropped out due to house move) an ecology foundation degree at Myerscough about 4 years ago and think it's an excellent college. So I'm biased a little towards it anyway. I'd love to go for the degree they offer, but unfortunately Myerscough is in Lancashire, and I'm not.
Where I study at the moment offer an HND one afternoon/evening a week, which opens up possibilities of working at the same time. The foundation degree in arb at Myerscough offers distance learning and flexibility, and it's Myerscough, and they're good.
HND on the doorstep versus Foundation Degree by distance online learning? Currently wondering what the pluses and minuses are. Anyone any thoughts on the relative merits of these qualifications?
Thanks
Dougie
