Each year the WJEC will set eight themes for the project, though students may also submit their own proposals for approval. The project requires students to demonstrate the integration of designing and making skills, knowledge and understanding. More emphasis is placed on industrial and commercial issues at A2 with a realistic appreciation of the needs of different users, society and the environment. The work of known designers and artists is studied to provide understanding and inspiration. Students take an increased responsibility for organising relevant research and design work for the management of their project. A wide range of materials and techniques is available. This component is marked in school and moderated by the WJEC.
