Mature students are welcome to apply but will still need to meet the entry criteria. If applying from another institution please note that the HNC qualification has to have the same specification as the one at Nottingham College.
Assessment is through assignments.
The HNC/D qualification is widely recognised in its own right and provides students with the skills required for employment in a broad range of industries with either a managerial or technical bias.
After successfully completing the HND you could top up your qualification with our new Level 6 BEng (Hons) top-up degree (subject to validation) or a similar course at a wide range of HE providers.
Alternatively you could pursue a career in research and development, design, technical sales and production.
The TEF is a national scheme run by the Office for Students (OfS) that aims to encourage higher education providers to improve and deliver excellence in the areas that students care about the most: teaching, learning and achieving positive outcomes from their studies.
