This BTEC HND in Mechanical Engineering is designed for students who want to continue their education through higher-level applied learning. The course combines technical knowledge with practical engineering skills, providing preparation for a career within mechanical engineering and related industries.
Topics include:
The course develops the core knowledge, skills and techniques that underpin modern mechanical engineering. Theory is supported by practical application, providing opportunities to explore how engineering principles are used to solve problems within real-world and industry-related contexts.
Areas such as thermodynamics and fluid mechanics develop an understanding of how mechanical systems behave, while engineering design, manufacturing and materials explore the processes involved in developing and producing engineering solutions.
Projects and practical activities help strengthen analytical, technical and problem-solving skills while developing the professional competence expected within the engineering sector.
By the end of the course, you will have developed a strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles and the ability to apply them across a range of industrial contexts. The qualification can support progression into technical or managerial roles within engineering or further study, including progression towards a full engineering degree.
The HND is available for students who wish to progress from a HNC at Cheshire College. If you have obtained your HNC from another institution or have had a gap in your studies your application will be reviewed to ensure you have previously undertaken a combination of units that is complimentary to our HND programme.
We welcome an application profile that meets one of the following:
A BTEC Level 3 qualification in engineering
A GCE Advanced Level profile that demonstrates strong performance in a relevant subject or adequate performance in more than one GCE subject
Other related Level 3 qualifications
An Access to Higher Education Diploma awarded by an approved further education institution
Related work experience as determined at interview with the Course Team Leader
An international equivalent of the above
and:
GCSE grades A* to C (9 to 4) in maths and English
Relevant subjects: Maths, Science, electronics, Computer Systems, electrical Installation, Engineering.
You could progress into employment in the engineering industry or undertake further study. The Mechanical Engineering HND is recognised by higher education providers as meeting admission requirements for a range of relevant engineering and technology-based degree programmes, for example:
BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering
BEng (Hons) in Manufacturing Engineering
BSc (Hons) in Engineering Technology
BEng (Hons) in Mechatronics
BEng (Hons) in Automotive Engineering
The course fee shown is the co-funded rate which is only available for people living in the local authority areas of Cheshire West and Chester or Cheshire East. If you live outside of these local authorities please contact the College for fee information.

There is funding available for eligible students.
Do I pay this fee?
Higher Education courses such as HNCs and HNDs can be self-funded through a payment plan. However, for eligible students, a tuition fee loan can fund your course through Student Finance England and you may be eligible for a maintenance loan to support your education.
Please note, you should apply for your loan before the course starts. You only commit to the loan once you begin attending the course.
Find out more about eligibility at Student Finance. For more information, find out on our Higher Education page or get in touch with our Bursary department.
