Course summary

Computer Science is a practical subject where students can apply the academic principles learned in the classroom to real-world systems. It’s an intensely creative subject that combines invention and excitement, and can look at the natural world through a digital prism”. We would certainly believe in running a qualification at KEGS that meets these aims. It will be a dynamic course with experimentation and practical aspects that will challenge and engage. - The capacity to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. Mathematical skill will be a crucial component. - Become confident and fluent in all aspects of Computer Science, from hardware to software. - Learn to problem solve through careful abstraction, decomposition, construction and rigorous implementation. - In software terms, they will learn to develop code in more advanced programming languages (e.g. Java, alongside Python), as well as work on different computer platforms and operating systems.
