About this course

BTEC Level 4 Mechanical Engineering Course in Blackpool. Classes run at Bispham Campus, part-time during the day, over two years.

This Pearson Edexcel BTEC covers the technical knowledge and practical skills used in mechanical engineering today. You'll study thermodynamics, materials, engineering maths, and design principles. Units are work-focused and aligned with what employers need.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC Higher National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering for England.

Who this course is for

The Edexcel BTEC Level 4 HNC in Mechanical Engineering is a work‑focused, industry‑recognised qualification designed to develop the technical knowledge and practical skills required in today's mechanical engineering sector. Whether you're already working in engineering or aiming to secure your first technical role, this course supports career progression, professional development and further study, while allowing you to build specialist knowledge in areas aligned with industry needs. You'll develop a strong technical foundation across key subject areas, including: engineering; mathematics; computer‑aided design (CAD); project management; quality and process improvement; core mechanical engineering principles. The course places strong emphasis on the practical application of theory, ensuring you gain the technical capability required for contemporary engineering environments.

Entry requirements

A minimum of 48 UCAS points (excluding Functional Skills) in an appropriate discipline: DD from A levels to include mathematics and a technology, engineering or science-based subject PPP from Extended Diploma, MP from Diploma, MM from 90 Credit Diploma in appropriate Engineering discipline.

What you will learn

  • You'll apply engineering mathematics to solve technical problems.
  • You'll study the properties and behaviour of engineering materials.
  • You'll explore thermodynamics and fluid mechanics principles.
  • You'll develop skills in mechanical design and CAD.
