You will study a total of five units over the two years, two of which are assessed through external examinations and three are through on-going assessment of your coursework. Examinations are available in both January and June of Years 12 and 13. This can really help to spread your workload and help you to achieve the best grades possible across not only this course but all your courses. Students who have previously studied this course have gone on to university to study computer science, information technologies, graphic design, business, teaching as well as wide variety of other degrees, or made a successful transition to college, higher level apprenticeships and of course employment. The course is good preparation for university as students have to carry out independent research, use academic materials which you then reference appropriately.
