Who this course is for

If you are interested in pursuing a career in the field of mechanical, electrical or electronic engineering, then this is the course for you.

Entry requirements

For this course, you will need to have achieved one of the following:

Level 2 qualification in an engineering-related subject with an overall Level 2 Merit, GCSE Maths at grade 5 or above and GCSE English at grade 4 or above. A GCSE at grade 5 or above in Maths and a minimum of 4 other GCSEs at grades 4 or above including English Language and Science.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and how they apply in practice.
  • You'll study electrical and electronic engineering concepts and systems.
  • You'll learn to analyse engineering problems and apply technical solutions.
  • You'll explore materials, manufacturing processes, and design principles.
  • You'll build understanding of health, safety, and quality standards in engineering environments.
  • You'll develop skills in reading and interpreting engineering drawings and specifications.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at London City Institute of Technology.
