Course Overview

There are many roles that HNC-qualified employees take on, with the vast majority being technician-level jobs in the aerospace/aeronautical industries or the Armed Forces.

If you are aiming for a higher degree, then by completing your HNC Aeronautical Engineering, you could seek direct entry to the second year of a BEng or MEng degree (with some additional study).

The broad content means you have multiple career options in aerospace and other engineering industries. We have extensive resources for delivering aeronautical engineering, including an aerospace workshop with fixed wing and helicopter training aircraft, training rigs/equipment for aircraft systems such as an aircraft radar, a range of piston and gas turbine engines, a Rolls Royce RB211 turbofan. Other facilities supporting your course include a flight simulator system, subsonic wind tunnel and aerospace simulation and modelling software. An experienced engineering staff provides tuition with relevant industrial experience in aeronautical engineering.

Suppose you have a passion for aircraft or simply wish to develop into an engineer with vast and varied engineering skills applicable across various industries. In that case, this course is right for you. This course is delivered at Hartlepool College of Further Education, leading to a Teesside University award.
