Course summary

Product Design is a creative and dynamic A Level that brings together imagination, technical understanding and problem solving. It is about far more than making: it challenges you to explore how products are conceived, why they look and function as they do, and how they can be improved to meet the needs of men and women. If you are curious about the world around you and enjoy developing original ideas, this course will give you the chance to design with purpose and innovation. Design and Technology is highly respected by universities and employers, as it develops both creative thinking and analytical skills. The subject provides excellent preparation for careers in design, engineering, and manufacturing, where the demand for skilled people continues to grow. Many students go on to become product or industrial designers, architects or engineers, while others find that the skills gained also support careers in the creative industries, computer science, and business. You will have the opportunity to experiment, take risks and refine your ideas, while learning how to turn concepts into reality. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone with a lively, enquiring mind and a passion for creativity.
