The course focuses on effective programming techniques in Python and Pseudocode and builds on programming techniques studied in GCSE Computer Science. At the core of the course is computational thinking. It will appeal to those who enjoy solving problems, designing systems, and investigating human and machine intelligence. As part of the course, you will be allowed to investigate and debate recent advancements in computer science, for example, AI. You will learn how to apply the academic principles from the classroom to real-world systems in an exciting and engaging learning environment, with highly trained teachers. Throughout, you will demonstrate how principles from other subjects such as Mathematics and Physics are combined with computational theory to enable computers. systems to process and store data. In year one you will study: - Characteristics of contemporary processors, input, output, and storage. - Software Development. - Enhanced programming skills combined with your NEA. In year two you will study: - Exchanging Data. - Data types, structures, and algorithms. - Computational thinking and problem-solving. Higher Education courses accessible with an A Level in Computer Science include Computer Network Technologies, Computing, and Games Programming. An A Level in Computer Science can lead to opportunities in careers such as ICT, Network Technician, Junior Programmer, and Computer Forensics.
