About this course
**About this Course:**
This programme is a new QCF-approved Level 5 Higher National Diploma (HND) Diploma with Pearson BTEC as the awarding body.
This course is a continuation from the Level 4 Higher National Certificate (HNC) which provides advanced technical knowledge through general engineering principles, concepts and theory that includes both mechanical and electrical principles.
The courses also provide the higher-level technical, vocational and general engineering skills to equip you for a range of related occupations.
Rotherham College and North Notts College have invested in new equipment and facilities, including mechatronics, PLC facilities, and metallurgy and science laboratories, with a further investment in the new engineering workshop facilities. The full-time HND in General Engineering is designed to provide you with new opportunities including: Career development, Improved salary, Increased job satisfaction and Personal achievement.
Studying the HND in General Engineering at either college means that you are able to study a nationally-recognised Higher Education qualification locally.
The HND will also enhance career opportunities and help meet aspirations to become a supervisor or manager.
This course is available to study at both North Notts and Rotherham College.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
