HND : Mechanical Engineering
The courses I ’ ve studied at Fife College are NC : Engineering Practice level 5 , NC : Mechanical Engineering level 6 , HNC : Mechanical Engineering level 7 and I ’ m currently studying HND : Mechanical Engineering level 8 .
My interest in engineering stems from my love of fixing and building things .
I have enjoyed every course I ’ ve studied , with dynamics and thermo fluids being favourites . I would recommend to anyone interested in engineering to look into the courses I have studied , and apply if they think it ’ s something they would enjoy .
There are many jobs and careers I ’ d love to do but my main ambition is to become an offshore wind turbine technician or mechanical maintenance engineer .
“ Every course I ’ ve studied has prepared me for progression onto the level above and helped me gain a third year degree offer from Edinburgh Napier University as well as several other university offers .”
