Course summary

Study Computer Science and be inspired and equipped to tackle the IT challenges facing our modern world. You will learn how computers work and start programming in formal scripting languages. You will develop your own software project and associated reports to solve a real-life problem – enabling you to become a real problem solver, to analyse information effectively and to plan projects properly. This project can also form a useful discussion topic for UCAS applications. You will learn about the technology that really powers all those things you love using, from websites such as Facebook and Twitter to the games you enjoy playing like Call of Duty and The Sims. Computing will help you with any subjects which require a degree of critical thinking – which is virtually all of them!
