Entry Requirements

Due to the significant mathematical component in the course, it is recommended that pupils have at least a 6, preferably a 7 or higher, for GCSE Maths. There are several topics that require the ability to reason logically and apply mathematical and logical processes to solutions. It is likely that if you find mathematics enjoyable and interesting then you will also like Computer Science. Equally, if you have a knack for languages or pattern spotting, you would be equally successful as learning to program is very similar to learning a new language.
