The course offers excellent progression from GCSE Design and Technology courses, (Resistant Materials, Graphic Products and Product Design). Advanced Level Design and Technology aims to provide an opportunity for students to develop their own creativity, capability and entrepreneurial skills; to apply knowledge and understanding to a range of technological activities and to develop critical thinking and collaborative skills. In both years, students will continue to develop their creativity, communication skills and making skills. The course has been designed to encourage candidates to take a broad view of design and technology, to develop their capacity to design and make products and to appreciate the complex relationships between design, materials, manufacture and marketing. Advanced Level Design and Technology goes well with Mathematics, Physics and Art and Design. It complements subjects such as English, History, Geography and Modern Languages. A level Product Design can lead to careers in Design, Engineering, Architecture, Applied sciences and Education.
- Grade 5 or above in GCSE Design and Technology (Resistant Materials, Graphic Products or Product Design) - 5 passes at a minimum of Grade 5, including/as well as at least Grade 4 in English and Mathematics.
