There did used to be such a qualification, the HND from Bournemouth which turned out very high quality excavators with very little interest in theory. This HND was replaced with a foundation degree, and now (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) is a Batchelor's degree.
With departments being asessed against each other, I'm not sure that there is much milage for them in offering lower degrees. The IfA sponsored NVQ might help with this in future though.
