This course can be studied either Part-Time (1 day per week) over 2 years or can be studied Full-Time (2 days per week) over 1 year by combining the 1st and 2nd years of the part-time programme. The Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Electrical and Electronics Engineering offers students a broad introduction to the study of Electrical and Electronics theories and applications via a mandatory core of learning, while allowing for the acquisition of some sector-specific skills and experience through the specialist units. This effectively builds underpinning core skills while preparing the student for more intense subject specialisation at Level 5. Students will gain a wide range of sector knowledge tied to practical skills gained in research, self-study, directed study and workplace activities. For this Electrical and Electronics Engineering pathway, students take the four mandatory core units, one specialist unit and three additional units.
