Key Facts
Qualification Summary
The Diploma allows learners to undertake study related to Engineering Science and Maths. Learners will have the opportunity to develop skills which will enable progression to a range of degree level programmes within the sector. Many learners join these types of degrees after following A level study, so the Diploma will place the Access to HE learners on a level with those who have followed A level studies.
Learners will complete mandatory units which cover algebra, trigonometry and mathematics for science as well as a fundamental physics unit to develop underpinning skills for the optional units. They will be able to research an area of interest to them in more depth. They will study a range of optional units covering electronics, electrical circuits, engineering design, engineering dynamics, statics and structures, units related to physics and chemistry and structural mechanics. It also includes a unit on project management as that is highly relevant to the engineering industry. A range of maths units are also available to include calculus, statistics, algebra and geometry.
Ungraded units include units which will support access to higher education whilst supporting study and personal skills.
