Year 12 course outline Section 1 covers topics such as fundamentals of programming (C#) and data structures,systematic approach to problem solving and theory of computation. Section 2 covers data representation, computer systems, fundamentals of computer organisation and architecture, consequences of the use of computing and communication and networking. Year 13 course outline Three units providing a firm foundation for the study at university. Topics cover programming, data structures and algorithms together with the theory of computation. Section 2 covers Data representation, consequences of use of computer systems, networking, databases and big data. Functional programming and systematic problem solving are covered in context within a project.
Students will need at least 5 GCSE's at grades 9-6 including Maths at grade 6 or above. They must be a logical thinker and have sound mathematical skills. If their school offered GCSE Computing or IT they should have taken it, and should have an interest in the world of technology and programming.
Paper 1: on screen, 2 hours 30 minutes (40%). Paper 2: Algorithms and Programming comprising compulsory short answer and extended answer questions, 2 hours 50 minutes (40%). Coursework: Problem solving and applying programming skills in a major project (20%).
