What will I learn?
The HND Electrical and Electronic Engineering is designed for students and professionals seeking to develop higher‑level technical skills and knowledge in electrical and electronic engineering. The programme builds on core engineering principles and focuses on electrical systems, electronic circuits, automation, control, and professional engineering practice, preparing learners for roles across a wide range of industries.At Level 4, students develop essential engineering knowledge through engineering mathematics, engineering science, and electrical and electronic principles, forming a strong foundation in circuit laws and semiconductor theory. Practical skills are developed through Design & Project, allowing students to apply knowledge in real‑world engineering contexts.Technical modules include Electrical Machines, which explores the construction and operation of transformers, motors, generators, and actuators, and Electronic Circuits and Devices, focusing on circuit analysis, amplifiers, oscillators, and circuit testing. This level prepares students for junior technical roles or progression to Level 5 study.At Level 5, students extend their technical and analytical skills to meet industry‑level expectations. A major Research Project enables independent investigation and problem‑solving, supported by Further Mathematics to strengthen analytical capability.Specialist modules include Embedded Microprocessor Systems, Analogue Electronic Circuits, and Digital Electronic Circuits, developing competence in electronic system design, instrumentation, control, and integrated devices. Professional Engineering and Sustainability ensure students understand professional practice, ethical responsibility, and low‑carbon engineering principles.Delivered with employer input and aligned to industry needs, the programme provides a clear pathway to degree‑level study or professional registration, supporting progression into senior technical, supervisory, or professional engineering roles.Year 1: HNC Electrical and Electronic EngineeringYear 2: HND Electrical and Electronic EngineeringEntry points:Year 1: 48 UCAS pointsYear 2: HNC at Merit or betterExit points:End of Year 1: HNC Electrical and Electronic EngineeringEnd of Year 2: HND Electrical and Electronic Engineering
