Studying with us will prepare you for a range of careers in the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, electrical and electronic industries, and many more.

Our main qualifications in engineering are Higher National Certificates/Diplomas (HNCs and HNDs). These are equivalent to the first two years of a degree and are valued by a wide range of employers. After an HND, you can progress to a Top-up Degree at many universities and colleges.

• HNC = Level 4, equivalent to first year of university

HNCs and HNDs have a strong vocational focus which allows you to get hands-on experience in our Aerospace and Automotive Academy. This is a state-of-the-art facility in which you can learn practical skills such as welding, milling, CAD and CNC.
