About this course

Electronic Systems Engineering HNC Course. Study online at your own pace, fitting learning around work or other commitments.

It covers electronic systems, circuit design, engineering principles, and technical mathematics. You study over one year. You need a relevant Level 3 engineering qualification or relevant work experience to enrol. If your maths is not at Level 3, a bridging course is recommended. The minimum age is 18.

You'll finish with a BTEC Higher National Certificate in Electronic Systems Engineering.

Who this course is for

BTEC Higher Nationals are internationally recognised higher education qualifications at levels 4 and 5 that are equivalent to the first and second years of a university degree. They provide learners with an affordable, vocational route to completing a degree, upskilling or employment. These courses are fully accredited by Pearson.This course is the ideal choice for you if:You want an affordable, fast-track, and guaranteed route towards the third and final year of an Engineering degree-related BA/BSc degree You are employed, do not have the time to go to college or university, and, therefore, need a more flexible route up the ladder. You currently work in an Engineering sector and want to upskill and progress in your role.

Entry requirements

A pre-requisite to gaining entry onto the HNC is to have a relevant level 3 qualification in engineering OR relevant work experience in the engineering. For those who have not studied up to level 3 in Maths, it is strongly recommended that you consider adding on the Bridging Maths course, learners may be required to complete a bridging course(s) before gaining entry onto an HNC/D. Age requirement: the minimum age requirement for this course is 18.

What you will learn

  • You'll study the principles of electronic systems and how they work.
  • You'll learn circuit design and analysis techniques.
  • You'll develop skills in engineering mathematics.
  • You'll explore electrical and electronic components and their applications.
  • You'll gain knowledge of systems integration and testing.
  • You'll build understanding of engineering project management.

How you will learn

You study online through Pearson's BTEC framework. Assessment is assignment-based. You complete written assignments and practical tasks that demonstrate your knowledge. There are no formal written exams for most units. Work is submitted online and marked by tutors.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Unicourse will confirm anything else you need before you start.
