Design & Technology - Careers / Further Education
Design & Technology is a broad based subject, which has some specialization in project work and in the examination course. Some of the areas include: Advertising, Electronics, Engineering, Product Design and Architecture. In addition to these courses being followed in higher education, they will also provide the basis for further study in Management Ergonomics, Occupational Therapy, Urban Planning and Education.
“The teaching of quality design & technology in our schools is a vital requirement for the country’s future in the 21st century”
James Dyson
Inventor and manufacturer of the first bagless vacuum cleaner.
Some comments from students completing both GCSE and A-Level Courses…
“I think D&T has definitely made me feel like I have an advantage on several occasions while studying. It's a good foundation for any design course”.
Sophia Papagregoriou
“Design & Technology gave me a great insight into 3D Design and Development”.

“Definitely the most interesting module I attended at the English School. It has helped me understand and develop the necessary skills to cope with fast approaching deadlines and big assignments”.
Vassos Georgiou
“Design and Technology was without a doubt the most useful (and enjoyable) A-level subject I took. I have already taken a product design class during my first semester in college and as of this semester I am a UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program) student in MIT's Self Assembly lab working on a new technology coined '4D printing'. Had it not been for DT introducing me to processes like stereo-lithography and rapid prototyping, I doubt any of these would've been possible”.
George Varnavides
“The Design and Technology course created a solid design foundation for my education. From it I've learnt about the essence and importance of a design process which leads to a final proposal, a process of exciting experimentation, testing and research.”
Lily Papadopoulos
“The D&T course has helped me immensely in developing skills -such as model making, design development and resolution - that guided my architectural studies at the Manchester School of Architecture”.
