Additional and Specialist Learning

At each level, you can develop your particular manufacturing and product design interests further by taking more specialist courses subject and career ambitions.  You could, for example, learn about robot technology and how it benefits modern-day manufacturers.  Or you could delve deeper into sales and marketing, customer service, computer-aided design, corporate social responsibility, maintenance operations or textiles.

Or, you might choose a GCSE or A Level in subjects like chemistry, physics and art and design, which would help you get onto a university course.

You can also broaden your course by taking an additional subject that reflects another of your interests and career ambitions - like a language, or a creative subject like music.  Studying a foreign language can be particularly beneficial in a sector with so many international opportunities.
