Course summary

Computer Science at A Level is a practical subject that gives students a chance to learn a lot more about “Computational Thinking” techniques such as abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms, and data representation. Students will significantly develop their programming skills and they will have the freedom to create a complete piece of usable software for a real end user of their choice. This software will have a full graphical interface and will be built to fulfil real end-user requirements. This is an intensely innovative and creative subject that combines theoretical learning with invention and practical application. This is a 1-year course.
