Course details may be subject to change.
This programme will equip you with the knowledge and skills for a range of technical and management careers in the electrical/electronic engineering industry, working for manufacturing, design, pharmaceutical, service industries or off-shore oil and gas companies. You will study modules that focus on areas such as analytical methods for engineers, project design, electrical and electronic principles, engineering science, plus other specialist topics that meet the demands of local industry.
Entry Criteria
You will hold the following qualifications:
- BTEC National Diploma in Electrical/Electronic Engineering
- A-Level in Maths or an appropriate science-based subject
- An additional A-Level in any subject
- Five GCSEs at grade C or above, including maths and science.
What are the next steps?
You will attend an informal interview where your suitability to the course will be assessed. Please bring with you any former qualifications.
Modules Studied
You must gain a total of 120 credits by undertaking multiple units from the list below:
- Analytical Methods for Engineers
- Engineering Science
- Engineering Project
- Electrical Power
- Programmable Logic Controllers
- Digital and Analogue Devices and Circuits
- Electrical and Electronic Principals
- Utilisation of Electrical Energy.
Teaching and Assessment
You must achieve a minimum of 120 credits (of which at least 65 must be at Level 4) to be awarded an Pearson BTEC Level 4 HNC. Assessments will involve providing evidence against published learning outcomes and assessment criteria. You will receive an individual grade for each unit as ‘pass’, ‘merit’ or ‘distinction’. You must meet the assessment criteria set out in the specifications to achieve a pass grade – this gives transparency to the assessment process and establishes a national standard for each qualification.
Industry Links
A variety of enrichment activities will be organised for throughout the year, including guest speakers, visits to industry and live project briefs.
Placement
You will be encouraged to search for work placement opportunities if you are not currently in employment. We will support you in finding a suitable placement as they are a great way to get hands-on experience, and develop your skills in a real working environment.
You could progress to HND Electrical/Electronic Engineering.
