The breadth of this course together with the very small classes allows you to really engage with your chosen area of study. The department is small but well-equipped and therefore has the ability to allow you to experiment with a range of materials, techniques and equipment.
It is advisable that students will have experience of Three-Dimensional Design at GCSE and attained a grade 6 or above. Students who have followed alternative related courses, e.g. Design Technology, would still be welcome to apply and should present a portfolio of work that would demonstrate their suitability and enthusiasm for the core making skills required for this course. Prior knowledge of computer-based design is also preferable (for example Adobe Illustrator, 2D design V2, Google Sketchup).
Component 1: Personal Investigation (internally assessed and externally moderated) This accounts for 60% of the total qualification and incorporates three major elements: • Supporting studies • Practical work • Personal study (this is a written piece consisting of a minimum of 1000 words of continuous prose and is 12% of the total qualification). 15 Component 2: Externally set assignment This accounts for 40% of the total qualification and incorporates two major elements: * Preparatory studies * 15 hour period of sustained focus (during this time you will produce final outcome(s) extending from your preparatory studies).
