Course Overview
The Pearson BTEC Level 5 HND in Digital Technologies — Artificial Intelligence Solutions & Applications Pathway (RQF) is a 240-credit vocational degree-level qualification taught on campus in central London. It is equivalent to the first two years of an honours degree and is designed in partnership with employers and Pearson's industry advisory networks. The programme blends academic foundations with hands-on practice across the AI stack — programming, data, cloud, software lifecycles, intelligent systems, APIs and application development — using live project briefs, real datasets and an AI-focused capstone. Successful graduates progress directly into AI, data and developer roles, or top up to a BSc (Hons) at one of our partner universities — typically entering Year 3.
