Designing and making is at the heart of this course. Over the two years, students study historical, social, cultural, environmental and economic influences on Design and Technology and put their learning into practice by designing and making products. They develop an understanding of what it is like to be a designer and maker as well as gaining skills useful for employment and/or higher education in this field. The first year of the course is spent exploring materials and processes through a largely project-based approach. Projects for this include: silver jewellery, welding, casting, woodwork, composites, 3D modelling and CAD/CAM
Grade 6 or above in GCSE Design Technology, Higher Tier Maths CCSE and a strong interest in the subject.
