Course summary

If you enjoy learning about the fundamental principles and concepts behind computer science and how software is engineered, then this course will stretch and challenge you. You will gain skills in a range of programming environments, how we use programming languages to solve problems, how digital technology is used, and the moral, ethical, legal, and cultural opportunities and risks. You will develop practical skills in a range and will learn how software interacts with hardware, data structures, and processes and how the principles of hardware impact software and data communication. You will also discover how software drives the digital economy and the implications of the digital revolution on society. Computer Science complements many courses, such as Physics, Electronics, Mathematics, Technology-related courses, and other sciences, and could lead to a degree in Computer Science or Computing-related subjects or a future in programming, networking, business, engineering, or banking of programming languages, principally C#. You will use your programming skills to create a game of your choice using the Unity development platform.
