A student looking to engineering, design, architecture, manufacturing or business, as a possible career will find this subject challenging, relevant, rewarding and a desirable/essential gateway to success at university. Students interested in teaching and marketing would also find that the course prepares them thoroughly for university. For students who are ambitious to run their own business; whether it is in systems electronics, hi-tech manufacturing, CAD/CAM, musical instrument making, furniture design and construction or general engineering, the experience gained over the two-year course is an invaluable grounding. Creative and technical project opportunities are supplemented with a strong knowledge element.

Where students have not had the opportunity to take D&T, then a merit or Grade 6 in Engineering, or 6/6 in Combined Science is a good indicator of potential. The course is also suited to students who have a strong Art and Design background.
