The Three-Dimensional Design course will appeal to students wishing to specialise in product design, architecture, and engineering. The course enables students to develop a broad view of the world of design and enhance their capacity to design and make 3D products and to appreciate the complex relations between design, materials, and manufacture. Three-Dimensional Design is about understanding the needs of people, questioning existing ways of doing things and seeing opportunities for innovative products, architecture or engineering that will enrich quality of life. Students are encouraged and guided to explore their own personal interests through project and self-directed work via two projects, resulting in a 15-hour practical exam for the second project which has an externally set brief.
We require external students joining STAHS to achieve a minimum of grade 6 in Maths and in English, alongside the grade requirements in relevant GCSEs for their chosen A levels. Grade 7 or above in GCSE Design and Technology: Product Design or GCSE Art and Design: 3D Design. Candidates who have not taken the GCSE before will be considered.
