What do I need to study this course?
You will need a grade 6 in GCSE Maths and GCSE Computing if studied.
What will I study?
You will learn how to solve problems using a computer. You will also learn how to write reliable and efficient code using industry standard best practices. You will develop the ability to apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including data representation, networking, databases, logic and algorithms. You will also undertake your own programming project, which counts for 20% of your final grade.
What next?
Computer scientists are in demand and their salaries reflect this. A-level Computer Science, with its emphasis on problem solving, abstract thinking and mathematical reasoning, is a good foundation for a Computer Science degree. If studied alongside A-level Maths, it could lead to an Engineering or Science degree. Alternatively, the skills you will gain through studying this A-level could lead directly to employment within the Digital industry.
