Design & Technology Scholarships

Design & Technology Scholarships are awarded to candidates who are able to demonstrate outstanding potential in any field of design or engineering. Design & Technology Scholars will benefit from the excellent workshop facilities at Dunottar, enabling them to explore and develop their creative and technical leanings, creating innovative design solutions for a modern world. Pupils are encouraged to develop their own creativity and their own personal style when designing and making.

The scholarship programme will be supplemented with enrichment opportunities, both inside and outside the school environment, including:

• Visiting the Design Museum and taking part in at least one of their workshops
• Visiting the V&A, or other venue with a relevant design/technology/product exhibition
• Entering design competitions with focused support from department staff
• Attending a ‘Product Design in Action’ seminar (A level only)
• Working alongside a professional designer, engineer or architect on a live project

Design & Technology Scholars will be expected to show commitment to co-curricular and whole school enrichment activities where the department has a significant involvement.
