Product Design A level offers a creative journey into the world of design. This dynamic course challenges students to blend form and function, nurturing their problem-solving skills and innovation. From sketching concepts to crafting prototypes, students embark on an exciting exploration of aesthetics and usability. Product Design not only unlocks pathways to careers in industrial design but also equips students with a versatile skill set applicable across various disciplines.
To provide a solid foundation for A level study, we recommend that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject with which they wish to continue. In some subjects, a Grade 7 may be more suitable to facilitate positive outcomes at A level, and the Sixth Form team will be happy to provide tailored advice on this matter.
Paper 1: Technical Principles 2 hour and 30 minute examination, 30% of the A level (externally assessed). Paper 2: Designing and making 1 hour and 30 minute examination, 20% of the A level (externally assessed).
