Course summary

Ever wondered how the web works or how to develop a computer game? Computer Science is an exciting and challenging subject in which you will develop valuable skills in problem-solving as well as learning how computers work. You will learn how to design and develop new software to solve problems whilst also learning how complex computer systems work at the hardware level. You will learn how to analyse problems, design algorithms and write programs. Some students have no previous programming experience and we assume none, so we start from the beginning. We offer excellent support in the form of workshops and one-to-one help. We also provide strong challenges for the most able students, including Olympiads, competitions and extension challenges.
