    Hi All,

    I'm looking into doing a springboard course. Could someone explain something that maybe quite simple but is completely lost on me. Level 8 courses seem to have different ranks. Example you can do a level 8 higher certificate, level 8 diploma or level 8 BA. What is the difference between all 3 apart form the credits awarded to each one.

    Also if I complete a level 8 in one year is that recognized as the same as somebody doing a level 8 over 3 years in a university??

    Many thanks

    A level 8 higher certificate or diploma is a postgrad at level 8, you cant do these without a level 7 or level 8 undergrad degree.
    A BA level 8 is a 4 year undergrad degree. Once you have this you could progress to the higher diploma if you wanted to.
