Activate Learning will be hosting two, state-of-the-art hubs at our Blackbird Leys Technology Campus in Oxford and at our Reading College campus.
The Level 5 units give students the opportunity to specialise in a digital-technology-related occupational areas and prepares students to move on to specific areas of digital technologies at Level 6 or enter employment.
The programme is designed to be studied full-time over one academic year, three days a week as a top-up from the HNC. The HND in Digital Technologies is a qualification of a minimum of 120 credits, including;
• Business Intelligence

• Emerging Technologies
• Digital Sustainability
• Digital Technology as a Catalyst for Change
• Pitching & Negotiation skills
Students will then elect two further units;
• Data Structures & Algorithms
• Advanced Programming
• Applied Security in the Cloud
• Work Based Learning
Students will have a sound understanding of the principles in their area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles widely in the area of digital technologies. Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of digital technology situations.
