Course Overview

This Higher Technical Qualification in Mechanical Engineering is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge and practical skills required for a successful career this field.
Our dedicated faculty, comprised of experienced professionals, will guide you through the latest industry trends, technological advancements, and sustainable practices. You will also develop essential skills in problem-solving, project management, and teamwork, all of which are highly valued by employers in the field.

Upon successful completion of the HNC program, you will have the option to progress to a HND or enter the workforce with the confidence and competence to contribute effectively to the engineering industry.

Course Requirements

Whilst applications are considered on an individual basis, offers are usually based on a requirement to have:

64 UCAS points from either:

– A Level 3 vocational qualification in a relevant subject
– GCE A Levels
– A Access to Higher Education Diploma in a relevant subject

Applicants should have GCSEs grades C/4 or above in maths and English

Mature students with relevant work experience and/or professional qualifications are welcome to apply, and may be invited to interview.

What you will Learn

You will delve deep into the core principles of engineering, including specialisms such as thermodynamics, production engineering and mechanics. Hands-on laboratory sessions, workshops, and industry-relevant projects will enhance your practical expertise, allowing you to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. Successful completion of the course will enable you to perform key mechanical engineering tasks in the sector, understand processes and operations, and work effectively.

Assessment

Coursework and Assignments: Coursework and assignments are common assessment tools. Students are given specific projects or tasks related to their coursework, and they are evaluated on their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems.

Practical Work: Practical laboratory sessions are a crucial part of an electrical engineering program. Students may be assessed on their ability to conduct experiments, analyse data, and draw conclusions from their findings.

Reports and Technical Writing: Students may be required to write technical reports based on their laboratory work or projects. These reports assess their ability to communicate technical information effectively.

Presentations: Students may be asked to give presentations on engineering topics, projects, or case studies. This assesses their communication and presentation skills, as well as their understanding of the subject matter.

Progression

On successful completion you may progress to the HND at Level 5 and subsequently to professional qualifications or, a top-up Degree at Level 6 on a related undergraduate programme such as:

BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering
BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and Management
BEng (Hons) Mechanical and Production Engineering
BEng (Hons) Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
BSc (Hons) Mechanical Engineering
BSc (Hons) Mechanical Engineering (Automation)
