This course aims to provide a sound theoretical and practical basis for students who wish either to progress on to further studies in the area or simply to gain an insight into the principles of computer science. A Level Computer Science requires a systematic and logical approach to problem-solving, which has a wide number of educational benefits.
Students must have at least grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics and GCSE Computer Science, although a 6 in both is desirable. If students have not studied Computer Science at GCSE, some evidence of previous programming experience is required. A keen interest in programming is essential.
The course follows the OCR Computer Science A Level Syllabus (H446) Unit 1: Computer Systems 40% of the total Advanced GCE marks. 2½ hour written paper. 140 marks. Unit 2: Algorithms & Programming 40% of the total Advanced GCE marks. 2½ hour written paper. 140 marks. Unit 3: Programming Project 20% of the total Advanced GCE marks. Coursework 70 marks
