More about the course
Our experience has shown that there are many excellent students who wish to study an engineering degree but are hampered as they do not have the correct qualifications.
Perhaps you do not have the appropriate A levels; perhaps your results were not as good as you had hoped; perhaps you have been working in an engineering environment for a number of years and now wish to gain formal qualifications. If so, our Extended Engineering Degree should suit your needs.
The first year of the Extended Engineering Degree is designed as a preparatory year to enable you to acquire the necessary knowledge to progress to the engineering course of your choice.
You apply for this course via UCAS, and the UCAS code that you specify will be determined by the degree that you wish to study once the initial year is complete.
The UCAS codes are shown below:-
Extended degree in Aerospace Engineering: H408
Extended degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering: H438
Extended degree in Automotive Engineering: H348
Extended degree in Mechanical Engineering: H308
Extended degree in Digital Communications and Electronics: H645
Extended degree in Digital Systems and Computer Engineering: H653
Extended degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering: H606
Whether you are a school or college leaver, or returning to study after a break, the initial year of the Extended Degree will give you the knowledge and skills you need to progress to the first year of any of our engineering degrees.
During the initial year, you spend four days a week at one of three associate colleges in the area. On the other day, you come to the University for laboratory sessions where you carry out practical engineering work and develop an engineering project of your own.
Study Location
Please note that the initial year is taught at your chosen college: Hertford Regional College, Oaklands College or Barnet College. On successful completion of the initial year, you continue on to your degree studies at the University of Hertfordshire.
Careers
The Extended Degree gives you the opportunity to get your engineering studies back on track. Extended Degree students can go on to graduate with good honours degrees and excellent career prospects.Teaching methods
You'll spend an initial year gaining all the knowledge you need to progress to the First Year of any of the University of Hertfordshire's BEng degrees or technology based BSc degrees. During that year, you'll spend four days a week at your preferred college, plus a day at the university. There, you'll work alongside all the other Engineering Extended degree students, carrying out project and lab work under the supervision of the university's staff.This is a great way of getting familiar with the school you'll be studying in, as well as getting to know the staff and other students. The lab sessions have been developed so you'll undertake practical activities in each of the engineering disciplines, while the project allows you to pursue a topic in your own chosen discipline.
