Entry Requirements

Places are offered subject to candidates' achieving a minimum of 42 grade points on the best seven GCSEs including English and Maths. Normally we would expect at least a grade 7 (or an A grade) in each subject to be studied in the Lower Sixth and at least a 6 (or a B grade) in English and Maths. Ideally you will have taken Computer Science at IGCSE or GCSE. If you haven’t done an official course, but have taught yourself the basics of programming, then you will also cope well. If you have no experience, but real drive then you are advised to spend time in the Summer learning to program in Python. An indication of future success would be your Computer Science or your Mathematics I/GCSE grade, and a grade B, at least, would indicate that you are able to cope with the content of the course.
