Computer Science equips you with essential skills that are increasingly valuable in higher education and almost any career path. While it provides clear progression to fields such as software and hardware development, networking, web design and systems management, the subject is also highly relevant to careers in medicine, law, business, politics and the sciences. This course emphasises computational thinking rather than simply learning to use tools or a programming language. Computational thinking is about problem solving through abstraction, decomposition and logical reasoning – skills that are useful not only in computing but also in everyday life. You will explore what can be computed, how problems can be solved efficiently, and how computing continues to shape our understanding of the world. No prior knowledge of Computer Science is required, though an interest in coding is important. The course develops transferable skills in analysis, creativity and systematic thinking, preparing you for a future where computing plays a central role.
