maginative practical work is at the heart of this subject. Pupils will have the opportunity to develop intellectual curiosity about the design and manufacture of products. They will explore, design, create and evaluate innovative solutions in response to realistic design contexts. Pupils should develop knowledge and understanding of the core technical, designing and making principles for product design. They will gain practical, designing and problem solving skills that will support them in careers in architecture, engineering, fashion, graphics as well as product, interior and industrial design.
The course is suited to those with ambitions and aptitude in the sciences, mathematics and engineering subjects, as well as business studies, art and photography. Pupils' analytical and evaluative skills as well as their creativity and innovation will be tested. An awareness of current trends in design, the environment, moral and ethical considerations is vital.
• The course consists of a 50% exam (mathematics and science contribute 15%), with two papers for A Level. • The remaining 50% is a non-exam assessment (NEA) at A Level. • This consists of a single design and make activity. A-Level pupils are free to choose their context.
