If you`re looking to develop your knowledge and skills of electrical and electronic engineering to a high standard, this course is ideal.
In Year 1 you’ll follow the HNC Electrical Engineering course. It’s designed to make sure you meet the varied needs of industry and commerce through your graded unit and Mathematics for Engineering - just what you need to prepare you for your second year.
Year 2 HND will provide you with a solid foundation and practical skills in advanced electrical concepts and theories. You’ll use the latest software and study technical subjects to give you a practical understanding of analogue digital electronics, MCU processing, embedded systems and electrical theory.
In Year 3 & 4 you’ll study at Edinburgh Napier University or Heriot-Watt University. In your degree-level studies, you’ll develop your skills and knowledge even further, gaining practical knowledge through a large team-based project incorporating digital and software design mechanics and management. This will allow you to develop a high level of electrical and electronic engineering knowledge you for your career in this industry.
