- 18 months, part-time day release. Student attendance is required between 9am and 6:30pm
Course Aim
The Level 5 Higher National Diploma consists of the Level 4 Higher National Certificate plus an additional 120 credits at Level 5. The following pathways are intended to build on the subjects studied at level 4 HNC and hence the optional units are selected to follow on from the level 4 modules.
Qualification credit value: a minimum of 240 credits of which 120 credits are at Level 5, and 120 credits are at Level 4 and usually attained via the HNC
There is a required mix of core, specialist and optional units for each pathway.
The core units required for each Level 5 pathway (in addition to the specialist units) are the Research Project, which is weighted at 30 credits, and Professional Engineering Management, weighted at 15 credits.
The HND qualifications are designed to start after the completion of the HNC and are a 3 semester programme running from February until July the following year. The research project is a substantial piece of work and is a year long subject that would normally commence in the September and complete the following July
Location and Delivery Model:
