General Engineering (HND) HND

This course provides a broad base of topics in engineering, allowing students the knowledge to make an informed choice for career or further study. The subjects chosen show employers candidates who are multiskilled in engineering disciplines. The chosen units prepare students to move on to specific areas of engineering at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision making. Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of engineering situations. By the end of Level 5 study, students will have a sound understanding of the principles in their area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely in the industry. They will be able to perform effectively in their specialist area.
