Students will study four units of work over two years. Year 12: Students will learn technical theory of computer systems such as software development, data structures. hardware design and composition, algorithm theory, and how legal/moral/ cultural issues affect users of computers. Students will then develop their skills with programming and algorithms, studying abstraction, decomposition, problem solving, and program design and efficiency. Year 13: Students will sit two paper based exams this year on the theory they have learned in Year 12 and the start of Year 13. Students will also complete a large programming project through Year 13 in a programming language of their choice. Each student will independently analyse a complex programming problem to be solved and will then design, build, test and evaluate a solution to the problem.
• Maths grade 6 • Computer Science grade 5
This qualification has two paper-based exams in Year 13 giving 80% of the final marks. The remaining 20% of marks are obtained through the complex programming project.
