The most important aspect of Computer Science is problem solving, an essential skill for life. Students study the design, development and analysis of software and hardware used to solve problems in a variety of contexts. Because computers solve problems to serve people, there is a significant human side to Computer Science as well. Computer Science also links very closely with Mathematics. For those who have a love for Mathematics they will also find the problem solving, programming and logic involved in Computer is ideally suited to their skillset.
A grade 6 in GCSE Maths is needed for the Computer Science A Level. There is no prerequisite of needing to study GCSE Computer Science.
Two exams sat at the end of Year 13 (40% weighted each) and a programming project (20%).
