The course enables development and understanding of how computers work on a technical level. The course is focused on the fundamental aspects of computer architecture and has an emphasis on the use of programming languages to write programs and applications for real world use. Tuition is split between classroom based theory and computer-based practical skills to prepare the student for a substantial coursework project in Year 13.
An assessment day is held at Queenswood in the November prior to entry. Applicants are required to sit entrance examinations in the subjects that they plan to study at A-level. We do not stipulate particular GCSE requirements, although Queenswood Sixth Formers will typically have achieved at least six Grade 6 results at GCSE, with Grades 7–9 in the subjects to be studied at A-level.
