Duration

This new programme builds upon the Faculty of Engineering & Science's extensive provision in this area. It will provide you an alternative to an HNC that incorporates a greater degree of focus on addressing the specific skill needs identified by different sectors of the industry. Degree structure In addition to the core courses required to ensure the specialist integrity of the programme, this new provision also includes up to 90 credits of sector/company specific accredited work-based learning/training. This foundation degree is aimed at employed electrical engineering practitioners operating at higher technician level, who seek a programme offering greater integration of industrial practice with associated underpinning theoretical principles. This part-time programme is part-time in terms of the credits studied at the university however, it is envisaged that with supplementary learning and work-based projects being undertaken outside the normal academic year, learning will be full time. Extensive consultation with local industry has taken place and this has informed the development, design and delivery of this foundation degree, which meets the academic requirements for progression to IEng Honours degree programmes. Outcomes This programme will: Provide a progression route for students that have or are in the process of completing an Advanced Apprenticeship in Electrical Engineering and who aspire to study at higher technician level to achieve a Higher Apprenticeship and/or Incorporated Engineer Status. Provide a nationally recognised qualification (exit award) that successfully integrates learning at work and academic study in a manner that provides significant flexibility for the sponsor company to develop the profile of their employee(s). Facilitate progression onto 'Incorporated Engineer' types of honours degree. Place the student at the centre of learning..
