This creative qualification gives students the practical skills, theoretical knowledge and confidence to succeed in a number of careers. Especially those in the creative industries. They will investigate historical, social, cultural, environmental and economic influences on design and technology, whilst enjoying opportunities to put their learning in to practice by producing prototypes of their choice. Students will gain a real understanding of what it means to be a designer, alongside the knowledge and skills sought by higher education and employers.
You should have a minimum of either: • GCSE Design & Technology grade 6 or above, or • GCSE Engineering grade 5 or above, or • Level 2 Technical Award in Materials Technology (Distinction) with GCSE Maths grade 6 or above and GCSE Science grade 5 or above, or • GCSE Maths grade 6 or above and GCSE Science grade 5 or above and GCSE Art grade 6 or above. Interest and enthusiasm for the subject are essential. Whilst some technical expertise is desirable, interest in wider aspects of the subject is also expected, as is a positive and committed approach. All students are required to meet the General Entry Requirement of a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade 6 with at least GCSE grade 4 in English Language and Maths
Students are assessed by two written papers at the end of Year 13 worth 50%, plus 50% awarded for a Non Exam Assessment, which is a practical project.
