Engineering for England (General Engineering) (HTQ)

The Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in General Engineering offers students a broad introduction to the study of both Mechanical and Electrical & Electronics theories and applications via a mandatory core of learning, while allowing for the acquisition of some sector-specific skills and experience through the specialist units. This effectively builds underpinning core skills while preparing the student for more intense subject specialisation at Level 5. Students will gain a wide range of sector knowledge tied to practical skills gained in research, self-study, directed study and workplace activities. For this General engineering pathway, students take the four mandatory core units and an additional four units.
