Computing is fundamental to almost all areas of modern life. Recent studies in the US predict out of all Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) jobs forecast for the next two years (to 2022) 74% of them will be in Computer Science. The Videogames industry is now bigger than the Movie and Music industry combined. Our Computer Science A-Level course is designed to offer you a solid foundation across this subject. It will help you develop the knowledge and skills required to meet the demands of the many careers available to you, such as a Programmer, Systems Analyst and Games Designer. If you enjoy problem-solving and meeting challenges, creating programs from scratch (including games), then Computer Science is the right course for you.
At least five 5s at GCSE, including at least a 6 in Maths (we strongly advise students to also study Maths or Core Maths). Have you considered studying a Mixed Programme (A-Levels and BTECs)? Whether you’re on target to achieve five 5s in your GCSEs or not, there may still be an option to study A-Levels alongside a BTEC qualification at Newman.
