This course is for students to gain an insight in to a range of computing systems, including an understanding of the principles of programming and the solving of problems. Students will gain an understanding of the organisation of computer systems, the consequences of using computers, an awareness of emerging technologies and an appreciation of their potential impact on society. The students will cover the theory of computer systems, including software, hardware, data, communications and people. They will also gain the ability to apply skills, knowledge and understanding of computing, including programming in a range of contexts to solve problems. Through a project in Year 12/13 students will learn project and time management skills. The course will develop their capacity to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. There is a large programming component to the course including a project developed by the students.
To study A Levels you need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 5+.
