We believe learning shouldn’t stop after just one course. That’s why we offer the Progression+ scheme, our way of rewarding students who choose to continue their education with us.
Note: For a limited time all Progression+ time restrictions have been removed, all NDA students and alumni can receive our Progression+ Scheme to progress to their next level of study. Valid until March 2027. Contact our Support Team for more information.
The National Design Academy is part of the NDA Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation for education. This allows us to reinvest in our students, including offering progression rewards to help you continue your studies.
Whether you’re building on your first short course or taking your qualifications further with a degree, Progression+ offers savings on your next level of study.
Complete your NDA course, then enrol on your next eligible qualification within the relevant timeframe to benefit from the following rewards.
| Next Step | Your Reward | Time to Enrol |
|---|---|---|
| Interior Design for Your Home short course to any NDA diploma | £50 saving ($65) | 6 Months |
| Any NDA diploma to an NDA bachelor's degree |
£500 saving ($600) (£167 ($200) every year/learning level) |
1 Year |
| An NDA bachelor's degree to the MA Interior Design with Practice Management | £500 saving ($600) | 2 Years |
Note: Your enrolment window begins on the date you complete your previous NDA course.
If you’re considering your next qualification, contact Student Services to discuss your options and find out how to access your reward.
Let us know which NDA course you’ve completed and what you’d like to study next. Our team can explain the relevant saving, confirm your enrolment timeframe and guide you through the next steps.
Progression+ is the new name for our previous Progression Scholarships. The financial rewards remain the same, while updated enrolment windows give students more time to progress to bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
The name reflects what the scheme offers: rewards for continued study through savings on tuition fees.
Yes. Once you’ve completed your NDA bachelor’s degree, you can benefit from a £500 saving when progressing to the MA Interior Design with Practice Management, provided you enrol within two years of completing your degree.
Yes. You can benefit at each eligible stage of your progression with the NDA. For example, after receiving a reward when moving from a diploma to a bachelor’s degree, you could receive a further reward when progressing to your master’s.

UK students pay approximately 50% of the full course fee – the balance is funded by the UK Government’s Adult education budget (AEB).
The National Design Academy is the only design school to be able to offer this funding as our Diplomas are all fully accredited by AIM Qualifications.
