2. 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

3. New HN structure HNC 125 credits 8 modules HND 245 credits 16 modules Project module 20 credit

4. 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

5. Modules L4 underpinning knowledge such as: Analytical Methods for Engineers Engineering Science L5 further development such as: Mechanical Principles Project

6. Core Modules Recommended 4 modules Must include 20 credit Project module

7. Example: HNC Mechanical Engineering Core Modules L4 Analytical Methods for Engineers Engineering Science L5 Mechanical Principles Project

8. Elective Modules HNC Maximum of 3 L5 HND Minimum of 8 L5 To tailor HNC/D to suit local industry needs

9. Example HNC Mechanical Engineering Core L4 Analytical Methods for Engineers Engineering Science L5 Mechanical Principles L5 Project L5 Plus 4 modules from electives (max of 1 additional L5 ) Elective L4 Application of Pneumatics & Hydraulics Heat Transfer & combustion Fluid Mechanics Materials Engineering Mechatronics Systems Principles L5 Engineering Design Business Management Techniques Plant Services
