Design and Technology (Product Design)

Entry Requirements

It would be helpful if you have studied Design Technology Resistant Materials or Graphic Design at GCSE and achieved a grade of 5 or above. Drawing and communication skills are essential, and some ability with CAD programs is helpful. 20% of each exam requires you to demonstrate applied mathematical skills, so an ability in Maths is required. But the main thing you need is an open mind, active imagination and a curiosity for materials and making things.
