hnd is higher national diploma and BA is Batchelor of arts which is a degree. not sure how the course content differs though. usually after and HND you can go on and do a BA if you wish to do so.

I found this definition "Generally an HND is the equivalent to two years at university. A full-time Higher National Certificate (HNC) takes one year to complete, or two years part-time. Many HNC courses cover the same subjects as an HND, but an HNC is one level below an HND (it's generally equivalent to the first year at university)."
