About this course
The world of engineering is dynamic and ever evolving. The Pearson BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is designed for students who wish to further develop or pursue a career in the engineering field.
In addition to providing the skills, knowledge, and techniques that underpin the sector, Pearson BTEC Higher National Qualifications grant students experience of the breadth and depth of the sector, preparing you for employment, progression within your employment, or further study.
This course is ideal for people who want to build strong foundations to forge a successful career in the engineering sector.
Students can progress directly into a career in engineering, or you may choose to continue your studies and achieve an HND qualification.
You could work in different industries, from power and renewable energy to transport, construction and manufacturing.
You can improve your career prospects with incorporated or chartered engineer status. Chartered status can help you move into electrical design and project management roles, specialise in a particular field, or work as an engineering consultant. The Engineering Council have further details on how to become a chartered engineer.
Modules
The programme is comprised of a diverse range of modules that will equip you with the underpinning knowledge needed for a wide range of engineering careers, or to further develop your current career.
There are eight separate units of study. Each unit has a value of 15 credits.
Engineering Design
Engineering Maths
Engineering Science
Electrical & Electronic Principles
Electronic Circuits & Devices
Quality & Process Improvement

Managing a Professional Engineering Project
You will be required to achieve a minimum of 120 credits (of which at least 65 must be level 4) during your programme of learning to be awarded a Pearson BTEC Level 4 HNC.
Assessment methods
Your work will be continually assessed throughout the course, with feedback provided on all work submitted. Assessment type will differ depending on which module is being assessed, including assignments, practical experiments, logbooks, and presentations. The course specification (Course Specification HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering HTML (scg.ac.uk)) includes additional information on assessments.

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?
