Programme Structure

This programme is designed for students who have completed a Higher National Diploma, Foundation Degree or equivalent level 5 qualification in Engineering.
If you have completed an HND Engineering at Nelson and Colne College you will have all the required prior knowledge and would normally have covered the following programme learning outcomes;
<ul>
<li>Understand, select and apply appropriate scientific and mathematical techniques, procedures and methods to undertake engineering tasks</li>
<li>Demonstrate an understanding of the need to work within the constraints of common business, commercial and financial environments</li>
<li>Demonstrate a sound theoretical understanding of key mathematical and scientific principles relevant to engineering</li>
<li>Identify problems and apply appropriate methods to identify causes and achieve satisfactory solutions</li>
<li>Identify, organise and use resources effectively to complete tasks, with consideration for cost, quality, safety, security and environmental impact.</li>
<li>Contribute to the design and development of solutions to engineering problems.</li>
<li>Demonstrate an understanding of the environmental impact of engineers' work, and the need to promote sustainable development.</li>
<li>Understand the ethical issues that may arise in their role and carry out their responsibilities in an ethical manner.</li>
<li>Apply research methods and skills in engineering</li>
<li>Communicate appropriately with others in person, in writing and through ICT</li>
<li>Be appropriately proficient in the use of ICT</li>
<li>Work effectively with colleagues, clients, suppliers or the public</li>
<li>Demonstrate personal and social skills and awareness of diversity and inclusion issues</li>
</ul>
If you gained an HND elsewhere or are offering other entry qualifications you may apply and will be considered on the basis of both the extent and level of your prior achievement and on the subject knowledge gained.  
Normally, you will need an overall Merit at HND or a Foundation Degree average mark of 50% or higher.  If you have an HND with an overall Pass grade or a Foundation Degree with and average mark below 50% but can show the ability and commitment necessary to be successful at level 6 you may be admitted through the Non-standard Admissions Process.
