There is a clear diffference between HND and BSc/BA in UK and Scotland. HND in UK and Scotland are 2 years programs while BSc/BA programs last for 3 years. There, after your HND which is assumed to be the samething as a 200 level BSc/BA, you can proceed to do a BSc/BA by joining them in the final year (300 levels) or start from 200 levels again; depending on your HND grade anyway.
