In the first year you will study two mandatory units: Fundamentals of IT and Global Information. These units provide an insight into the IT sector, as they investigate the pace of technological change, IT infrastructure and the flow of information on a global scale, as well as the important legal and security considerations. In the second year you will explore application design and develop a prototype to meet a user requirement. You will then take two optional units. The optional units could include: cyber security, product development, mobile technology, social media and digital marketing, games design and prototyping, internet of everything or web design and prototyping.
We ask for an average GCSE point score of 5 or above (based on 8 or more GCSEs) to study an A Level programme*. This will include a 5 or above in English Language and Maths. If you have a GCSE point score between 4.75 and 5 you can access certain A Level subjects. We are confident that we have a range of A Level courses that will get you to university. We will discuss entry requirements with you at interview so please come and talk to us! Your average GCSE score will include the Grades for all your GCSE subjects, added together, then divided by the number of subjects you’ve taken.
Assessment is by 67% examination and 33% coursework.
