Course Highlights
- Studying an HNC, HND, then a Top-up degree is typically more affordable than studying for a full degree at other institutions
- Gain a qualification for every year you complete, meaning you can start a career at any point during our engineering pathway
- Coursework-based assessments for HNCs and HNDs make the course more practical and work-based
For people currently employed in a related field, an HND provides the opportunity to upgrade knowledge and skills, combining work and study and may be a more cost-effective alternative to university study. This course is equivalent to the first and second year of a full time university-level programme.
