Computer Science

Course summary

Technology underpins most aspects of our daily life but what actually is the Internet and why is it different to the World Wide Web? Why won’t Android work on your iPhone? How can I make a video call to anyone in the world immediately and securely from any device? Study A Level Computer Science to begin to understand the answers to questions like these. A Level Computer Science helps students understand the core academic principles of computer science. Classroom learning is transferred into creating real-world systems through the creation of an independent programming project. The A Level will develop the student’s technical understanding and their ability to analyse and solve problems using computational thinking. Whilst there is no need to have studied computing or computer science at GCSE level, a minimum grade 6 in Maths is required.
