9 Design A-level Programs

This is an exciting course which allows you to explore a vast range of design disciplines creatively. In the first instance, you will be introduced to the design process, and you will produce work through small exercises and design briefs.

3D Design Studies introduces you to a wide range of makers and designers.

By studying A Level Design and Technology, you will learn core technical, design, and manufacturing principles and additional specialist knowledge in material science and applications, manufacturing techniques, CAD/CAM skills, and how new technologies influence design.

A Level Art and Design specifications offer a range of titles and specialisms that: Enable students to develop a wide range of skills and techniques, together with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of Art, Craft and Design. Embrace the current and emerging technologies including animation and games design, moving image and 3D digital design, as well as the traditional routes of art, craft and design such as drawing, painting and sculpture.

Our Art and Design A Level course offers students many opportunities to get involved in their area of interest.

Within Design Engineering, you will work with principles and concepts that will develop your skills as a budding engineer to progress to Higher Education or industry, ensuring that your learning direction supports progression beyond A-Level.

These specifications directly support progression to further and higher education and provide students with a rich platform to inspire a lifelong interest in art and design.

This specification provides learners with opportunities to develop a broad foundation of critical, practical and theoretical skills at AS, which offers learners a holistic understanding of a range of practices and contexts in the visual arts, crafts and design fields, culminating in greater specialism and achievement at A-Level.

Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to develop your individual creativity through the application of technology and hand-made approaches.
