Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. It is a broad subject that is theoretical, mathematical and practical. You will learn how to apply fundamental principles of computer science, such as abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation. You will learn how to analyse problems and program practical solutions. You will develop your creativity, and learn to think innovatively, logically and critically. You will learn about the relationships between different aspects of computer science, including the ethical, legal and cultural opportunities it creates as well as the risks of digital technology.
GCSE Computer Science Grade 5 (although students who have not previously studied Computer Science may be considered).
• Component 1 (40%): Exam covering Computer Systems • Component 2 (40%): Exam covering Algorithms and programming • Project (20%): You discuss, investigate, design, prototype, refine and implement, test and evaluate a computerised (programmed) solution to a problem.
