Where does it lead? One of the brightest spots in the UK economy at the moment is in high tech manufacturing and the creative arts generally. Good design graduates are much sought after and there are many satisfying and potentially lucrative careers on offer. A good qualification at A Level can lead to degree courses at some of the most sought after Universities in the UK. LSS D&T students in recent years have gone on to courses such as Product Design, Architecture, Civil and Aerospace Engineering at prestigious universities such as Loughborough, Nottingham, Sheffield and Bath. Course Overview The course is based on the concept of ‘learning by doing’ and practical work is the major component of lesson time at LSS in both AS & A2 and extremely high quality products are vital. However, in order to evidence your design work and study you will compile a substantial portfolio of evidence in both years and this does require a high degree of commitment and sophisticated project management skills. Managing concurrent short, medium and long term targets is one of the keys to success as well as a valuable life skill. In A2: Complete a single major project consisting of a practical outcome and an A3 folder illustrating the complete design process. This is a free choice for students but must be a potentially commercial product for an identified client/target user group.
