Civil Engineering HNC can either be studied as a one-year full-time or two-year day release course (a system allowing employees days off work to go on educational courses). This course is designed to teach you the essential skills necessary for the role of a Civil Engineer.

The Full time will mean attending Edinburgh College's Granton campus 2.5 days per week over one academic year. 

The day release will mean attending Edinburgh College’s Granton campus one day per week over two academic years whilst continuing to be employed within the construction industry.

Mechanical Engineering, one of the broadest Engineering disciplines, is the application of solution-finding techniques for anything that moves, big or small, from design to manufacture to the marketplace.

Mechanical Engineers approach their work using the principles of motion, energy and force to ensure that design can function safely, efficiently and reliably, at an acceptable cost.

You will develop important skills such as problem solving and critical analysis, both essential for an engineering career.

You will benefit from a unique learning environment within our industry-designed labs, workshops and CAD suites. During the...
