Cambridge Design Course Portfolio

Hi there! An y12 looking to apply for design at Cambridge. I am currently doing 4 A levels: Physics, Maths, Product Design and Computer Science. Since the design course is fairly new, I haven’t been able to receive much advice and information on it from my teachers. I am hoping if there are any current students in the course or anyone who has received an offer recently can help out a bit. I have only done DT in GCSE and currently Product Design for A Level, meaning I don’t have lots of arty pieces to put into the portfolio, and I might be at a slight disadvantage here. I have lots of product design drawings but I am not sure if that will be useful and whether Cambridge will be interested. Thanks xx
