GCE in Technology and Design

Combining practical skills with an understanding of aesthetics, social and environmental issues, function and industrial practices, our GCE Technology and Design qualification helps students develop their own ideas into innovative products and systems. As they do so, they reflect on and evaluate present and past technology and design, its uses and effects.

Our GCE course prepares students to participate in rapidly changing technologies. They learn to think creatively, to become independent learners and to problem solve – both as individuals and members of a team. Our GCE students also learn how to ask important questions about the immediate and long-range impacts that technological innovations and the elimination of existing technologies are likely to have.
