Course content

Both AS and A2 course offers students an opportunity to take a broad view of technology and design. Students are encouraged to use their creative skills to specialise in the design of 3D products, systems and/or architecture. They then develop these into finished modules using computer graphics and/or 3D modelling materials.

Students also learn about the importance of design and the range of materials and manufacturing processes that can influence the production of the final product.
