Year 2 for which you will need a HNC at Merit or better
Year 3 for which you will need a HND at Merit or better

There are 3 possible exit points which are:-
The end of year 1 with a HNC
The end of year 2 with a HND
The end of year 3 with a BEng

Year 3 Course Modules Subject to revalidation

Individual Major Project – The module requires students to manage and deliver a professional‑standard engineering project that synthesises prior learning, addresses an approved real‑world problem aligned with their target award, develops new skills beyond the taught syllabus, produces an evaluable solution or artefact, and includes an assessment of the project’s commercial potential.
Engineering mathematics and computation – The module extends the mathematics covered in earlier Higher National Diploma study by introducing additional engineering‑focused topics useful at level 6 and for future progression, while also teaching students to use industry‑standard software to model and solve engineering problems.
Engineering Systems Design and Simulation – The module develops a systems-based approach to analysing and designing complex electrical or mechanical systems – using case studies that include unfamiliar, interrelated subsystems – and builds advanced modelling skills that allow these real systems to be simulated with greater accuracy, with the modelling work based on the same systems explored in the analytical component.
Engineering Innovation – The module is designed to develop an understanding of innovation, creativity and problem solving as core requirements for business success in a globalised economy, and to provide students with the knowledge and skills required for successful exploitation of new ideas.
Microprocessor Applications – The module equips students with an understanding of microprocessor‑based systems, practical experience in developing microprocessor solutions for real engineering problems, and the ability to critically assess which microprocessors or system designs are most suitable for specific engineering scenarios.

Year 2 Course Modules Subject to revalidation

Research Project – This module enables students to independently deliver a complex engineering research project while applying critical thinking, communicating effectively, and developing key analytical, creative, and collaborative skills.
Professional Engineering – This module teaches students the key professional standards and skills required of engineers—covering strategy, sustainability, management, and professional practice—so they can produce effective service delivery plans and demonstrate responsibility to society, the profession, and the environment.
Further Mathematics – This module trains students to use key mathematical methods—such as number theory, matrices, numerical techniques, and differential equations—to analyse and solve engineering problems.
Sustainability – On successful completion of this module the student with possess a wide range of knowledge and understanding of the issues and topics associated with sustainability and low carbon engineering.
Embedded microprocessor systems – This module aims to give students a solid understanding of microprocessor‑based systems and their role in instrumentation and control, provide hands‑on experience in developing microprocessor solutions to real engineering problems, and develop the ability to critically evaluate different microprocessors and their suitability for specific engineering applications.
Analogue electronic circuits – This module develops students’ understanding of analogue electronic systems by exploring specialised applications of analogue devices, using ECAD tools to design, build, and test circuits, and enabling them to explain how analogue and digital subsystems operate and how information is processed within complete electronic systems.
Digital electronic circuits – The module is designed to build on students current understanding of digital eletronics and mathematical techniques such as boolean algebra for circuit design and reduction learners are introduced to medium and large scale integrated devices.
