This course is an opportunity for students to study and produce detailed quantity and quality work using the design process. You will learn about the types of resistant materials and their manufacturing capabilities through 'Design and Make' projects. You will be expected to undertake background research in your own time

The course culminates in a final major project in which you take a project from initial research, through the design process to make a final product in wood, metal and/or plastic

It would be an advantage for applicants to hold GCSEs in Dual Science or Physics, Maths and Design Technology at grade C or above but is not a prerequisite. A portfolio of work is also required for a course interview
