HNC Electronics

Overview

This course equips you with a qualification which is highly regarded by the electronics and related industries and also enables progression to higher education. In recent years many of our students have been recruited by very prestigious companies.

The course develops your skills in the principles and technologies of electrical, analogue electronics and digital electronics systems. It also covers programming. You’ll learn how to approach high-level language or assembly language programming in a structured way, for applications in a microprocessor or embedded system.

The course reinforces the theory with practical work and demonstrations.

• NC in an appropriate engineering subject, OR
• Two Higher Grades – Maths and one other (we’d prefer Physics)
• Before we offer you a place, we’ll invite you to an interview.
