Course summary

Computer Science at A-Level will give you a deep insight and understanding into how it all fits together, from the microprocessor, buses and assembly language, to memory, storage, operating systems, programming languages and network architectures. Computing is everywhere. Whether it is as simple as checking in with friends on social media or as sophisticated as modelling the weather systems of other planets, modern society simply could not function without computers. However, as ubiquitous as computers are, very few people really understand how it all works. If you choose Computer Science you will, by the end of the course, be one of those who do.
