What the college says

Why study Product Design? The Product Design A level is a course designed to develop an interest into a passion. Students have the unique opportunity to develop their own design style and to experience a course tailored to preparing for the next step into University or into industry. The course teaches students how to solve real world problems and be an all-round designer with them learning a tool kit of practical process, machinery, materials, CAD software and CAM processes. This allows the students to tailor their creative journey by being able to identify the correct processes and materials to solve the problems they set out in their own design briefs. The specification encourages learners to use creativity and to be confident to explore their own imagination. The course enables learners to identify market needs and opportunities for new products, initiate and develop design solutions and make and test prototypes.
