Design and Technology is designed to offer students’ opportunities to study, propose and realise prototype solutions closely linked to the real world of product manufacture. You will have the opportunity to work in a range of material areas and develop your problem-solving skills in a very practical way. Computing, Maths, Science and Business Studies are subjects closely linked to and help support this subject area. Product Design enables you to develop your design, modelling and making skills to a much higher level. It will also allow you to use science and maths skills in a practical environment. As an A Level it gives you the opportunity to design and make an innovative and substantial piece of practical work. Component 1 - Theory topics ranging from materials knowledge, processing techniques, product development and digital technologies. Component 2 Independent Design & Make Project. You will develop a design brief to solve a real problem either individually or in conjunction with a client. They will develop a range of ideas and produce one working prototype of their final product. Further studies exist in many universities in the following courses: engineering, manufacturing, product design, textiles, advertising and lots more! The course could also help to secure you an apprenticeship in a wide variety of vocational areas.
QEHS 42 Points Grade 6 in any Design and Technology subject, e.g. Resistant Materials, Graphic Products, Electronic Products, Product Design, Systems and Control or Textiles.
