Course summary

Computer Science encompasses the theoretical aspects of how a computer is designed, used, and applied in order to solve real world problems. It is an applied subject that provides students with practical problem solving skills in a variety of programming languages, and a strong foundation from which to embark on a career as a Programmer, Data Analyst, Cyber Security Consultant, Web Designer, Games Developer, Electronic Engineer, and much more. It will also suit students who hope to develop their own computer software and hardware. Students will develop the ability to use technical language appropriately, apply skills in logic to solve problems, and increase their awareness of existing and emergent technologies, as well as their impact on society, organisations, and individuals.
