HND in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (after completion of HNC)
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).
Electrical & Electronic Engineering is all about designing, developing, maintaining and improving electrical, electronic and control systems. For example, they provide electrical equipment and controls for buildings, factories, and vehicles that make sure that plant and machinery work effectively and efficiently. Further, with the increasing importance of climate change and its impact on engineers, a unit discussing this topic has been included on all courses. This HND qualification is to the latest fully accredited RQF (2017 onwards) standard with the latest RQF (2024) specification used and is about:
- providing opportunities for engineers/technicians to achieve a nationally recognised level 5 vocationally specific qualification
- providing opportunities for progress to higher education vocational qualifications, such as a full- or part time degree in engineering
- providing opportunities for learners to focus on the development of the higher level skills in a technological and management context
- providing specialist studies relevant to individual vocations and professions
Having previously completed 8 unit BTEC level 4 HNC (EEE) with TECOL; this HND level 5 course offers a balanced programme of engineering principles, design and applications within electrical and electronic fields.
