Our HNC Mechatronics programme includes:Integrated Curriculum: Explore the synergy between mechanical systems and electronic control.Hands-On Learning: Get real-world experience with our industry-standard equipment and software.Expert Teachers: Learn from leaders in the field who bring cutting-edge research into the classroom.Career Opportunities: Prepare for a diverse range of roles in automation, robotics, and beyond.
Through the course, you will gain a wide range of scientific and engineering knowledge, and develop your practical skills through research, independent study, directed study, and workplace scenarios. Your vocational study will help you to develop key behavioural and transferable skills which are highly valued in both higher education and in the workplace, such as communication, teamwork, research, and analysis.
By the end of your Level 4 study, you will have a sound knowledge of the basic concepts of manufacturing engineering and competence in a range of subject-specific skills.
Level 5: Level 5 will prepare you to study specific areas of manufacturing engineering at Level 6, or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities to take on increased responsibility and to engage with decision making.
You will develop and apply your own ideas to your study, learning to confidently deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of engineering solutions.
By the end of Level 5, you will have a sound understanding of the principles in your area of specialist study. You will know how to apply those principles more widely in the industry and effectively perform in your specialist area.
