Course summary

Computer Science is a discipline that spans theory and practice. Nowadays, practically everyone is a computer user, and many people are computer programmers. Understanding how a computer works allows us to use them more meaningfully. Computer Science qualifications nurture computational thinking and help pupils to develop the skills to solve problems, design systems and understand the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. We aim to provide courses that encourage pupils to become adept at modelling and analysing problems. They develop the skills to design solutions and verify that they are correct through precision, creativity, and careful reasoning. Computer Science has a wide range of specialties for pupils to develop into such as computer architecture, software systems, graphics, artificial intelligence, computational science, and software engineering.

Entry requirements

Pupils are advised to choose subjects in which they have obtained a grade 6 or above at GCSE, but equally important for study at this level are commitment and self-discipline.
