Computer Science is an intellectually challenging yet very practical and rewarding subject. It is an intensely creative subject where you can apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in exciting and inventive ways. You will learn to: • think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically • apply the principles of computer science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic and data representation. • analyse problems in computational terms and solve them by designing, writing and debugging programs. • apply mathematical skills relevant to computation • understand how computer hardware is used to solve problems and communicate • appreciate the legal and ethical issues that surround the technology we use today
