This is a creative course with an emphasis on practical problem-solving in 3D using a range of modeling and resistant materials. Design themes include product design, furniture design, architecture, interior design, packaging, promotional devices, signage, and environmental design e.g. theme parks. Your coursework projects will develop your investigative, design, CAD, and practical skills. During your two years of study, you will undertake a work placement. You will also hear from a variety of industry speakers, visit career fairs, and attend workshops, trips, and visits.
For a mixed programme of A Levels and BTEC Level 3 courses you must have five GCSEs grade 4 and above which could include one BTEC and either GCSE English or Maths as appropriate for your chosen courses. Requires either a GCSE in Art & Design at grade 4 or a Level 2 Art BTEC at merit or a demonstrable interest in and experience of the subject, plus the standard entry requirements of an A Level or mixed program.
This qualification is assessed by exams and coursework. The split is 50% exam and 50% coursework. The examined element will take place at the end of the second year and will focus on the principles of design and technology and have some mathematical content. The coursework is an independent design and make project, which is chosen by the student and aims to solve a problem for an external client.
