This one-year, full-time programme, delivered over two days per week, facilitates a seamless transition for those seeking to enhance their core engineering competencies.
Designed in partnership with employers, this HTQ HND curriculum helps graduates possess the specific skills required by the modern engineering sector.
The programme expands upon the principles established in the HNC, providing opportunities for specialisation and advanced technical training.
Assessment methodologies, including assignments and analytical testing, emphasize the practical application of acquired knowledge, mirroring real-world engineering scenarios.
This qualification enhances employability and helps prepare graduates for advanced roles within mechanical engineering, with a specific focus on meeting the needs of regional industries. The programme delivers a comprehensive and industry-relevant qualification, enabling individuals to advance their careers with confidence and expertise.
This course is a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ). HTQs are technical qualifications that have been developed by employers and awarding bodies so students can develop the skills that employers want.

This information comes from the National Student Survey, an annual student survey of final-year students. You can use this to see how satisfied students studying this subject area at this university, are (not the individual course).
This is the percentage of final-year students at this university who were "definitely" or "mostly" satisfied with their course. We've analysed this figure against other universities so you can see whether this is high, medium or low.

This information is from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), for undergraduate students only.
You can use this to get an idea of who you might share a lecture with and how they progressed in this subject, here. It's also worth comparing typical A-level subjects and grades students achieved with the current course entry requirements; similarities or differences here could indicate how flexible (or not) a university might be.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
