Design and Technology (Product Design)

Course summary

Students should preferably have studied a design-based course before. The Design Technology GCSE is an ideal starting point. Those choosing to do this subject must be prepared to work hard on the coursework units that start in the first term and which incorporate a significant amount of ICT including CAD/CAM. Students must apply their understanding and knowledge from other subject areas, with a particular focus on Mathematics, which has 15% content. An open mind, creativity and flexibility in approach is essential.
