Design and Technology (Product Design)

Entry Requirements

Pupils embarking on Product Design are expected to have achieved a grade 6 or higher in Design and Technology at GCSE level. However, exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis if a grade 6 has not been achieved or the pupil has not studied Design and Technology at GCSE. You need to have a good English and Maths result at GCSE or equivalent. It is important that pupils are genuinely interested in learning and discovering how products and artefacts are designed and manufactured. The study of Product Design should be of interest to those students who wish to broaden their GCSE course. Other subjects that compliment Product Design are Physics, Maths and Art. However, students may wish to choose Product Design as a contrasting subject to a wide range of other choices.
