The Diploma in Engineering is intended for students of all
abilities who want to find out more about engineering and develop
engineering-related as well as generic skills and knowledge,
without committing to a specific career.
Because of their unique design, Diplomas are equally suitable
for the most able pupils preparing for demanding university
courses; for young people who find the existing education system
doesn't suit them and for those who want to go straight into work
after leaving school.
The Diploma at every level is designed to serve a variety of
entry and progression routes, and to avoid narrowing learners'
options. At every level, the Diploma will provide achievers
with a range of options both for continuing full time education or
entering employment, within or outside of engineering.
Specialised and Additional units allow learners at all levels to
select units from within engineering to specialise further, and
from outside of engineering to add extra breadth to their
learning.
All students will benefit from the holistic approach of the
Diploma, including the personal, learning and thinking skills
development, the extended project, and the functional skills in
Maths, English and ICT.
