A HNC is a level 4 qualification equivalent to university year 1 in Engineering. A HND is equivalent to year 2. You can then complete a BEng Hons degree in 1 full time year or part-time over longer to finish a full degree.  University yearly costs are approx £9,000 so the HNC followed by HND  then university option offers a considerable saving opportunity in obtaining a degree(save approx £14000).

Completing both BTEC level-4 and level-5 units, the HND course offers a balanced programme of engineering principles, design and applications within manufacturing, production and processing fields. Completing this course will allow you to progress your career or progress to level 6 (final year) of University engineering degree courses.
