Good design is vital to our world and to the economy. You should have a passion for creativity, problem solving and sustainable design. A level Product Design is a two year course where you will learn concepts and applications of design and technology. You will apply your new found knowledge to problem solving through the design process. In addition to a public exam, you will learn a range of processes, skills and techniques and then apply them creatively to a “design and make” project in year 2, solving problems for a client through an enterprising, problem solving design process. Your outcome can be graphics, architectural, engineering or resistant materials based. Students will be supported in the workshop during the extended project. Previous visitors include a mobile phone designer, a leafing paper engineer and a RIBA architect. You may visit design museums in London, taking inspiration from a range of current British designers. Students help with and mentor STEM activities with lower year groups.
At least 5 courses successfully at the following levels; 9 – 5 (or equivalent) at GCSE, or level 2 BTEC/CTEC/VCERT.
