HND in General Engineering
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).
HND General Engineering is to the latest fully accredited RQF standard and focuses on the education and training of engineers/technicians who are employed at a professional level in a variety of types of technical work, such as in systems design, manufacture, maintenance and technical services areas of the mechanical, electronic and electrical engineering industries. Further, with the increasing importance of climate change and its impact on engineers, a unit discussing this topic has been included on all courses. It also provides:
- opportunities to achieve a nationally recognised level 5 technical qualification
- opportunities for progress to higher education vocational qualifications, such as a full- or part time degree in engineering
- opportunities for learners to focus on the development of the higher level skills in a technological and management context
- specialist studies relevant to individual vocations and professions
Note: Since 2017, the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) replaced the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) for HNC/D in Engineering courses.
Completing both BTEC level-4 and level-5 units, the HND course offers a balanced programme of engineering principles, design and applications within manufacturing, electrical and mechanical fields. Completing this course will allow you to progress your career or progress to level 6 (final year) of University engineering degree courses.
