Course Description

Choose between two pathways of mechanical and electrical engineering with our specially designed two-year course. With access to industry-standard facilities and teaching by professional experts, you'll complete research projects in an area of your choice. Advance your knowledge and expand your employability with this course and open up your opportunities to complete an engineering degree. This qualification is well regarded throughout the industry and the academic world. Career opportunities include managerial and technical positions in mechanical or electrical engineering.

This is a two-year full-time programme in which an HNC is completed in year one and HND in year two. With a career in engineering as your chosen route, this level 4/5 course offers pathways in both mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering. The HNC/HND in engineering course is designed to enable students who may have come through a vocational route to progress into higher education, building on the knowledge gained at level 3.

Once you have achieved the HND (after two years of study) you will be able to apply to study for a further year to obtain a full degree at university.
