Students can choose to study each of these HTQ courses full-time or part-time.
The HNC Aeronautical Engineering for England (HTQ) programme is ideal for students wishing to work within the aviation industry. Students firstly study the Level 4 HNC Aeronautical Engineering course and then have the option to progress to the Level 5 HND Aeronautical Engineering for England (HTQ) course.
Designed to help students build technical knowledge and skills, our course focuses on the underlying principles of aeronautical engineering. Students have the opportunity to develop the skills to recognise and alleviate risk, create a safe and efficient operating environment, and assess vital information. With a focus on the future, students can also build transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by industry.
The Pearson BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) is at Level 4 (the same as the first year of a UK honours degree). It is an eight-unit qualification which involves studying four mandatory core subjects and a further four specialist subjects. The units have been selected to meet a broad range of local industry needs.
Our aeronautical engineering students will be based in our aviation and engineering classrooms, workshops and emulation zone that keep teaching and learning apace with cutting-edge innovation and discovery including the use of virtual reality technologies and a flight simulator.
Assessments are mainly by assignment with some testing in the analytical subjects.
As part of the programme, students can choose to take an optional structured pilot training programme delivered by external partners at an additional cost that could lead to a Private Pilot Licence (PPL). More details can be found here.
This course is a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ). HTQs are technical qualifications that have been developed by employers and awarding bodies so students can develop the skills that employers want.
On successful completion of the HND Aeronautical Engineering, students can top up to degree level with our partner institution, Nottingham Trent University (*subject to validation).

We’ve designed our Career Degrees to focus on preparing graduates for employment in their chosen sector or industry by supporting the development of both academic knowledge and vocational skills.
Our classes are smaller which means our students can receive more one-to-one time with their tutors, as well as engaging debates and collaborative working with fellow students.
With our condensed timetables, students may choose to work while studying, look after family or enjoy a better study-life balance.
Plus, our university-level students graduate in an annual ceremony held in and around the grounds of the historic Lincoln Cathedral.
