Computer Science helps you to develop useful real world skills in a practical context. The course develops a student’s ability to think innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. It not only develops skills in program development through computational thinking but also a student's ability to write analytically and to consider moral and ethical implications of technology on society. Whilst Computer Science is a specialised subject, the skills developed through the course are applicable to a wide variety of higher educational courses, not only in the written skills but the ability to provide practical solutions to given problems.
At least a grade 6 at GCSE in Computer Science in addition to a grade 6 in Mathematics at GCSE. Emphasis is placed on encouraging students to develop the ability to think computationally, including decomposing problems, pattern recognition and abstraction followed by algorithm design. You should be able to think logically in order to develop a solution to a given problem both through algorithmic design and program development. In addition, the course has a computational mathematics element regarding binary, hexadecimal.
