What will I study? Computer Systems • Characteristics of processors, IPOS devices • Software and software development • Exchanging data • Data types, data structures and algorithms • Legal, moral, cultural and ethical issues Algorithms and Programming • Elements of Computational Thinking • Problem solving and programming • Algorithms to solve problems and standard algorithms Programming Project • Analysis, Design, Development and Evaluation Employers are interested in both the technical and the non-technical skills gained during the Computer Science course. Many students progress to university to study similar degrees, but computational thinking skills and applications are useful for a variety of degrees. Jobs directly related to the degree include: Database Administrator, Games Developer, Information Systems Manager, IT Consultant, Multimedia Programmer, Network Engineer, Systems Analyst and Systems Developer. Jobs where the degree would be useful include: Geographical Information Systems Officer, IT Sales Professional, IT Trainer, Secondary School Teacher and Technical Author.
To study A Level at The South Wolds Academy and Sixth Form you must achieve at least six GCSE passes, two at Grade 6 or above and four at Grade 5 or above Recommended for those who have studied GCSE Computer Science, and are strong candidates in Math's and the Sciences. Computer Science complements Math's and Science A Level options.
Assessed via two examinations (both 2.5 hours each) and a computing project.
