Introduction to your subject

As one might expect, A Level Design & Technology represents a ‘step up’ from GCSE Design & Technology in that learners will be expected to develop a much deeper understanding of a range of materials, manufacturing techniques, and specialist tools. As part of the course, you will also gain a more in depth understanding of the wider implications of Design & Technology such as, manufacturing in a ‘real world’ context, sustainability, legislation, and project management strategies. Across the two years, a large chunk of your time will be taken up by the work that you will need to carry out in order to fulfil the requirements of the non-examination assessment (NEA) component of the course. Naturally, we will be there to advise you and to provide you with help and support along the way but ultimately, what you choose to do for your project and seeing it through to its conclusion will be largely up to you.
