Course Overview

After completing this programme, you can progress to an appropriate degree at the University on campus or online.

An HND award opens up the possibility of a career in various engineering disciplines, including design, manufacturing, project management and IT. The qualification allows you to seek career development into senior positions in national and international companies.

General Eligibility

• If you are already qualified to HNC level (or equivalent) in an appropriate subject, you can use the 'apply online' link on the relevant HND to apply for a place.

• If you are topping up your HNC to HND level, the maximum Edexcel registration period to complete this is five years. The award regulations require you to complete at least two modules (30 credits) each year.

• If you don't already hold a relevant HNC (or equivalent level) qualification, you must complete your HNC first before progressing to the HND. This provides up to five years to complete your HNC and another five years to complete your HND. It is possible to achieve your HNC and HND in a much shorter time frame by completing more than two modules a year.

• If you decide to study the HND directly without studying the HNC first, we strongly recommend you check the units that encompass the HNC before you look at the other modules.
