The Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Manufacturing Engineering provides a nationally recognised qualification where students will gain a wide range of sector knowledge tied to practical skills gained in research, self-study, directed study and workplace This course offers students a broad introduction to the subject area via a mandatory core of learning, while allowing for the acquisition of some sector-specific skills and experience through the specialist Manufacturing units. This course is appropriate both for those wishing to continue their education through applied learning, as well as offering career progression and professional development for those already in employment. Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Engineering give students experience of the breadth and depth of the sector that will prepare them for employment, progression within employment or further study. The course is taught by well qualified and industry experienced lectures who are dedicated to ensuring student success through effective curriculum delivery and high-quality pastoral support. The team includes staff with relevant industrial and Engineering expertise. This course is offered on a full-time or part-time basis. The part-time course is taught over one day per week and takes approximately 18 months to complete. The full-time course is taught over two days per week and takes one year to complete. **Work Experience and Placement** There is no requirement for work experience or a work placement within an Engineering company. **After the Course** On successful completion of the course the qualification you will gain is Pearson BTEC Level 4 HNC in Manufacturing Engineering, after which there are a number of options open to you. Firstly, you could progress to the next level of academic study eg if you have completed and achieved an HNC then you can apply to go on and study for a HND. If you have successfully completed an HND then you could apply to complete a full BEng Honours degree. Your second option would be to seek employment with an engineering company.

A typical week could have between approximately 10-20 hours of contact time in taught sessions, plus additional 1-1 support available by student request. It is possible that contact hours will vary between terms owing to the combination and intensity of modules studied. As with all HE programmes, students are required to take ownership of their learning and development and should expect to spend time studying and completing assessment tasks with independence outside of lectures. You will study a range of units that will develop your specialist knowledge and skills. Listed below are examples of modules that are likely to be studied. Please be aware that modules studied may change periodically in line with student and stakeholder feedback, awarding body changes, or to reflect developments in the discipline. Students can always find the most up-to-date information about modules and who is teaching them in the course handbook. You will study a range of topics including Engineering Design, Maths, Science, Project, Mechanical Principles and Materials, Manufacturing Techniques and Lean Manufacturing. There are no timetabled Tutorial sessions in the programme. However, staff are always available to support your learning and answer any questions you might have. This can be done at the end of a class or during the week.

You will be assessed using a range of methods including essays, presentations, assignments and practical assessments. Feedback will be provided to you in writing, along with information reflecting your performance and recommendations for improvement.
