Computer Science is an exciting subject that encourages students to think creatively, logically and critically and to develop advanced problem-solving skills. Students choose to study Computer Science because they are passionate about computers and want to learn about computer architecture; communications and networking; fundamentals of data representation and data structures.
For all advanced level (Level 3) courses such as GCE A levels and BTEC Level 3, the entry requirement will be 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above (including Maths and English). For most subjects a GCSE grade 9—6 is required in the chosen or related subject or a merit at a BTEC Level 2. It is preferred that students have a minimum of a GCSE grade 6 or BTEC Distinction at Level 2 in this or a related subject and a grade 6 in Mathematics. Students will find it beneficial to study A Level Mathematics (essential for Computer Science at degree level) and Physics.
Two x 2 hour 30 minute exams (40% each) and a programming project that is internally assessed and externally moderated (20%).
