Ok, I am currently in a very difficult position! I am very keen to study product design at uni and I am at the stage of choosing my A levels in 6th form. So I have done research into uni requirements and in general I have found what they're looking for is an art/design technology and physics/maths a level.
Basically, I have been looking forward to studing A level DT for a long time and I have recently discovered the only school that teaches it in my town cannot take me on (long story, because of priorities/oversubscription)!!! So my ideal choices were going to be: DT, physics, psychology and english language.
What my problem is, is that as an alternative to DT, I know I can take art. However, I dropped this at GCSE because I despise it and I hate the subject. So whilst I am constantly on the school's back about reconsidering me for DT (because I genuinely love the subject!!), I wanted to know: is an art A level better than a DT A level (for product design?) I guess if worst comes to worst and there is no way I can do DT, I could bear 2 years of a suicidial art course. Because to me, I see an art A level for product design like training to be a nurse but applying to be a doctor. (I need to decide this very very very soon as I am nearing deadlines!!!!!!)
