A-Level Computer Science is a practical subject where students apply the academic principles learned in the classroom to real-world systems. Those studying this subject will design systems and understand the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. They will also develop computational thinking and problem solving skills. Several topics require the ability to use reason and apply mathematical and logical processes to solutions. It is likely that if you find Mathematics enjoyable and interesting then you will also like Computer Science.
GCSE Mathematics - grade 6 or above At least 5 GCSEs grade 4 and above GCSE Computer Science is not essential, though it is advisable to have done some programming in your own time if you have not taken this course
Paper 1: Computer Systems - 2.5hrs, 140 marks (40%) Paper 2: Algorithms and Programming - 2.5hrs, 140 marks (40%) NEA: Programming Project - 70 marks (20%)
