It’s also an intensely creative subject that combines invention and excitement and is a gateway to the industries of the future. The aims of this A Level Computer Science qualification are to enable learners to develop: - An understanding and ability to apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation - The ability to analyse problems in computational terms through practical experience of solving such problems, including writing programs to do so - The capacity to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically - The capacity to see relationships between different aspects of computer science - Mathematical skills
All students studying A Levels should have at least five GCSEs at grade 9 - 5 in academic subjects, including English Language at grade 5. Two of these should be grade 6. Specifically for Computer Science, you will need or Computer Science, you will need GCSE Computer Science at grade 6 or above, and GCSE Maths at grade 6 or above.
