Design and Technology (Product Design)

Entry Requirements

There are no formal entry requirements and students have successfully undertaken the course without having studying it first at GCSE. You would need to be someone who is good at iteration: generating lots of alternative ideas. If you are easily fixated on the first concept that you think of, you will find the course difficult. A good level of motivation and time management skills are desirable. There are also a number of questions on both papers that test mathematical knowledge (not really higher than GCSE standard though) so being happy to engage with the mathematical aspects of DT would be beneficial.
