Who this course is for

Take your engineering skills to the next level.

To join this course, you will need to have completed a HNC in a related engineering discipline. The HND is designed for those who are ready to deepen their knowledge and develop the advanced skills needed to succeed in today’s fast-moving engineering sector.

Whether you are progressing from your HNC or looking to enhance your career prospects, this course will build your confidence in problem-solving, innovation, and technical application. You’ll expand your understanding of core engineering principles while developing the practical and analytical skills valued by employers.

This qualification also provides a clear pathway to further study. If you’re considering progressing to a full BEng degree, you may be able to take advantage of our Degree Apprenticeship route and complete your degree in a shorter timeframe.

Entry requirements

48 UCAS tariff points from either: A Levels (including Maths/Science or a related subject), BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in relevant subject, BTEC Level 3 Diploma in relevant subject OR EAL Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Technologies AND Two satisfactory references AND GCSEs at Grade 9-4 in English and Maths Applications from mature students with relevant professional/life experience in an engineering environment are welcome. An admissions test may be required.

What you will learn

  • You'll apply advanced engineering mathematics to real technical problems.
  • You'll analyse mechanical and electrical systems at a higher technical level.
  • You'll develop skills in engineering design and innovation.
  • You'll use project management techniques common in engineering workplaces.
  • You'll evaluate materials and manufacturing processes.
  • You'll produce technical reports and engineering documentation to professional standards.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom sessions, practical workshops, and project-based assignments. Assessment is mainly through coursework, written assignments, and practical tasks rather than exams. Each unit is assessed separately, and you'll build a portfolio of work across the two years. Selby College tutors will give feedback throughout to support your progress.

What you will need to bring

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