Course Introduction

If you’ve completed a relevant HNC this conversion course can help you progress your career in Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering.

Electrical engineers are sought after worldwide across the private and public sector, from transport to healthcare, and education to construction.

We’ll develop your knowledge across a range of core and more specialist units. The course will suit you if you’ve completed relevant studies at an advanced level (A Level or equivalent) or have relevant industry experience and want to pursue a career in electrical and/or electronic engineering.

Level 5

You should have successfully completed the following:

  • A relevant HNC with at least 10 units at Level 4 and 5

Mature students are welcome to apply but will still need to meet the entry criteria. If applying from another institution please note that the HNC qualification has to have the same specification as the one at Nottingham College.

Assessment is through assignments.

The HNC/D qualification is widely recognised in its own right and provides students with the skills required for employment in a broad range of industries with either a managerial or technical bias.

After successfully completing the HND you could top up your qualification to a degree at a wide range of universities.

Alternatively you could pursue a career in research and development, design, technical sales and production.
