Computer Science focuses on how computers and information systems work, how their components interact, and on learning the planning, writing and testing of algorithms and programs using logical and mathematical skills. Unit 1: focusing on processors, input/output and storage devices, software and software development, exchange of data, data types, data structures, legal aspects of computer science. Unit 2: focusing on computational thinking, problem solving, programming and algorithms. Unit 1 (2nd year): focusing on software and software development, exchange of data, data types, data structures, legal aspects of computer science at a more advanced level than Year 12. Unit 2 (2nd year): focusing on computational thinking, problem solving, programming and algorithms at a more advanced level than Year 12. Unit 3 (2nd year): Individual programming project.
- GCSE grade 6 in Computer Science. - Students who do not study Computer Science – Grade 7+ in Mathematics may be considered alongside independent completion of a high level language programming course (eg Python, VB or Javascript).
