Computer Science is a fast-paced and constantly evolving subject with potentially far reaching social consequences. Study of the subject places an individual at the forefront of the technology curve, opening the door to numerous career and educational possibilities. Students learn about the fundamental principles of operation of a computer from the perspective of hardware, software and networks. Students look at aspects of network security and data handling as well as ethical, moral and legal aspects. In addition to theory, students improve their knowledge of programming. This is useful in itself, but also develops a number of transferable skills, such as • The capacity to think creatively, innovatively, and laterally • Logical Reasoning • Critical analysis • Innovation • Abstraction and Decomposition • Pattern Recognition • Design skills • Solution Modelling • Problem Solving • How the real world can be modelled on a computer
