This course has been designed in partnership with the University of Glasgow (UoG). Once you have achieved your qualification, it provides you with direct entry (see entry requirements below) into Year 2 of the following Engineering BEng degrees at the University of Glasgow including:
Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Systems, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design Engineering, Mechanical Engineering with Aeronautics, and Mechatronics
Students will be taught in the Kelvin's Springburn Campus, with additional sessions run on Glasgow University’s main Gilmorehill campus throughout the HNC year.
The HNC Mechanical Engineering course is designed to develop a wide range of knowledge, skills and experience across Engineering subjects and laboratory experiments within our new Innovation Centre. There will also be classes at Glasgow University to prepare you for transition to second year entry. You will build up an excellent understanding of a broad range of engineering concepts and skills, including:
This is a 17 credit HNC. Some of the units are assessed in a single exam upon completion of teaching
You will also learn to perform a range of laboratory experiments which are essential for industry and academia.
The best parts about the course we’re always the hands on parts, and the lectures abilities to relate the theories learned in classrooms to physical aspects in the workshops.

Alongside the eligibility criteria, applicants to the articulating HNC Mechanical Engineering must also have
For this course, if English is not your first language
If you have any questions regarding this eligibility criteria, please contact the University of Glasgow’s Articulation Officer, Dr Daniel Keenan, directly: daniel.keenan@glasgow.ac.uk
This qualification will enable you to articulate directly into Year 2 of full-time study at the University of Glasgow - therefore completing their undergraduate degree within four years (or five if progressing on to the MEng).
The college will support you in your completion of a UCAS application for 2nd year entry in one of the following degree programmes:
Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Systems, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design Engineering, Mechanical Engineering with Aeronautics, and Mechatronics.
Progression to 2nd year is dependent upon successful completion of the course (pass all units and achieve A pass in the Graded Unit exam and your successful UCAS application.
