During the two-year course, you will study a range of materials, and you will develop a technical understanding of how products function and how they are made to appropriately support the design and manufacture of your own design solutions. You will learn about wider design principles and the effect of design on users and the world we live in. You will identify market needs and opportunities for new products, initiate and develop design solutions, and make and test prototypes/products. You will develop your subject knowledge, including how a product can be developed through the stages of prototyping, realization, and commercial manufacture. You will develop a critical mind through inquiry and problem-solving, exploration, creation, and evaluation of iterative designs. Pearson Edexcel encourages freedom in approaches towards designing and making so as not to limit the possibilities of project work or the materials and processes being used. The Pearson Edexcel content requires you to apply mathematical and scientific knowledge, understanding, and skills. This content reflects the importance of Design and Technology as a pivotal STEM subject.
5 grade 4 at GCSE level including a grade 4 in a D&T Product Design or Art subject if previously studied. A grade 4 or above in maths is required if not previously studied.
The coursework element represents 50% of your A level, as does the examination. The examination will test your knowledge of Product Design as well as subject-related mathematics.
