Higher National Engineering programmes
Edexcel• Teesside University is a licensed provider and as such has
autonomy as far as the HN programmes are concerned.
• We will not be using directly the Edexcel unit specificatons.
• We will not be using the directly the programme structures for the HN programmes
• We can refer to them for guidance
New HN structure
• HNC
• 125 credits• 8 modules
• HND
• 245 credits• 16 modules
Project module 20 credit
Overall Grade• There will be an overall grade for the HNC and
HND based on a points system for individual module grades
• This will be calculated by the University SITS system
Modules• L4 underpinning knowledge such as:
Analytical Methods for EngineersEngineering Science
• L5 further development such as:Mechanical Principles
Project
Core Modules• Recommended 4 modules
• Must include 20 credit Project module
Example: HNC Mechanical Engineering
Core ModulesL4• Analytical Methods for Engineers • Engineering Science L5• Mechanical Principles • Project
Elective Modules
HNC• Maximum of 3 L5
HND• Minimum of 8 L5
To tailor HNC/D to suit local industry needs
Example HNC Mechanical EngineeringCore
L4• Analytical Methods for
