HND in Electrical/Electronic Engineering

UPDATED 20170123 12:53:21

The Higher National Diploma is a one-year part-time course which is ideal for students who wish to convert their HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering into a HND.  The programme is offered on a day-release basis which allows you to combine your existing professional role with your studies.  You will study eight modules which will cover a broad range of engineering subjects, identified in consultation with local industry experts and delivered by lecturers with the relevant industry and academic experience.  The assignments are linked to modern industrial engineering technology and will enable you to make a positive impact within your current organisation. You will study for nine hours per week.  You will need to equal this time working outside the College on assessments, research, revision and other learning activities. If applicants have not covered the core units within their HNC, additional units may need to be covered.  This could be done over an additional year or within the year of study.  All engineering companies demand well-qualified, versatile and adaptable staff with high-level skills and knowledge.  This programme also opens up potential opportunities for further study including progression to a full honours degree.  This programme will run with a minimum of six students.  In 2015-16 six students were enrolled on the HND Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme.  Delivered at our Roundhouse Campus adjacent to the Derby city centre train station, this programme is regulated by HEFCE and the qualification is awarded by Pearson Edexcel.
