These courses are designed to give students an understanding of the theory and practice of horology in relation to the manufacture, service and restoration of watches, clocks and precision instruments.
Skills are applicable to industry, museums, universities, retail outlets and collectors.
Successful completion of BHI Preliminary is an entry requirement for Level 1 of HND Horology. At Intermediate level, the above subjects are studied in greater depth, with a focus on modern mechanical and electronic time-keeping devices. The syllabus is also broadened to include business and professional studies and computer-aided design. At Final level students study the design, production and servicing of all types of watches and clocks, including mechanical and electrical, through a series of lectures, demonstrations and practical workshop sessions. Attendance is flexible but there is one day of theory each week.
