AWARDING BODY: UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH G7F7
2 YEARS, FULL-TIME 3 YEARS, PART-TIME
If you have a mindset to make connections between principles and practical systems, then this course is for you! The course has a common core of developing graduate skills, analytical methods, organisational behaviour, CAD and project work. The electronics and communication pathway includes modules in Electronics, Electrical Principles, Instrumentation, Control Principles, Microprogrammable Systems, Electronics and Communication Engineering.
This course is delivered mainly at the North Devon Campus where classes take place in the new Engineering Centre of Excellence, where specialised electronic laboratories are designed to provide maximum opportunity for you to gain practical learning relating to design, build and test methodology.
The modules that have been developed to make up the course are benchmarked to be challenging and to establish a knowledge base and develop problem-solving skills required by higher technician level and those with aspirations to become a graduate engineer. It has been identified that staff who have developed these skills at this level have a direct impact on a company’s bottom line.
PROGRESSION
Upon successful completion, students may apply to continue studying for a BSc (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Plymouth1 (only available for Level 5 point of entry). Nationally, there is a demand for graduates working towards incorporated engineer level. Incorporated Engineers often work alongside Chartered Engineers on technological innovation; with a combination of higher qualifications and work experience, this can lead learners to Chartered Engineer status.

FdA ENGLISH WITH HISTORY/ HISTORY WITH ENGLISH
AWARDING BODY: UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH Q3V1/V1Q3
2 YEARS, FULL-TIME 3 YEARS, PART-TIME
History and English have fed each other throughout time; understanding one helps you understand the other. This course is designed for individuals who have an interest related to either discipline. You will specialise in one but will have the opportunity to study the other.
The beauty of this course is that you are given the opportunity to excel at two subjects that underpin our world. Both literary and historical modules are taught chronologically to create a more cohesive university course, leaving you prepared for study at Honours level.
Over two years, English students will study a range of modules covering critical literary theories, 18th and 19th century work and the history of the theatre, and will produce portfolios of poetry and non-fiction writing that can be used to showcase your writing skills.
History students will study British and world history during the two-year course, including Early Modern England, the American Revolution and the foundation of modern Germany, as well as literary traditions of England and the Game of Thrones-inspired War of the Roses.
Both subjects will also teach employability skills within the ever-growing arts sector.
PROGRESSION
On successful completion, students may be able to progress on to one of the following at the University of Plymouth1: for the FdA English with History – BA (Hons) English or BA (Hons) English with History; for the FdA History with English – BA (Hons) History or the BA (Hons) History with English.
