I am doing German, Geography, History, and Product Design for GCSE. I have herd that i need Art in order to become an architect along with the subjects that i am already studying now; so if i am doing product design instead of art, would i still be able to become an architect??

Sure. When you get to college, be sure to take History of Art/ Art History, as architecture is one of your main points of study, and then at Uni - take Architecture. -

I don't do art a level but I did several things to make me stand out
1. I wrote about my work experience/engineering course in my personal statement
2. I made it clear I could convey my artistic ideas by talking about examples of my Product Design work and how my art GCSE piece won a school art prize
Bath are different because they don't need to see a portfolio so you have to prove in your ps that you creative (which you will be if you do product design)
If you want do architecture you need arts/sciences/humanities and I do maths, physics, geography and product design.
You don't HAVE to do art but if you are asked to submit a portfolio you can use your Product design work but it's a good idea to include some independent studies/art sketches etc
I hope this helped in some way and makes sense!!
