Technology - Engineering

The Diploma in Engineering is a new and different way of learning about the world of engineering. It will give you the right skills to start a career in engineering or go on to A levels and other training.

Engineering is finding smart ways to solve problems, so that life is better, easier and more enjoyable for ourselves, for people around the world, for the planet and for the environment. This problem solving requires a reasonable ability in maths.

Engineers work in health, entertainment, transport, construction, robotics, conservation, design, communications, disaster relief, in fact pretty much everywhere. Engineering offers a great choice of careers.

With the Diploma in Engineering, you’ll learn about:

Engineering in the modern world
Technology and how it affects our lives, now and in the future
New ideas, new materials and how they work together
Robotics
Electronics
Other topics

Plus, you get to do a project, such as designing a solar-powered car

To prepare you for the real world of work, you’ll learn how to:

Express yourself confidently

There’s work experience as well, where you work with and learn from professionals. You will spend 2 days each week on the Diploma; one of the days will be in college.

The Engineering Diploma is equivalent to 7 GCSEs at grades A* to C

After completing the Diploma you can do other more advanced Diploma levels, A Levels, a job, an apprenticeship, or other training.
