Course Summary
Learn the language of the future! Studying Computer Science accelerates your journey within one of the most disruptive and innovative industries. Technology continues to dramatically change our world, impacting on all areas of our lives. Computer Science helps you think about how technology is created. It allows you to understand how people work together with computers to develop world changing programmes like Facebook, Spotify and eBay. You will also develop the skills that universities, apprenticeship schemes and employers are looking for and they will prove valuable for the rest of your life. Computer Science goes really well with lots of other subjects, especially the Sciences, Mathematics, Business and Art.
Course Details
You will gain the skills to enable you to understand how to design and build apps, investigate how algorithms help create computer codes and the importance of cyber security and the ethical impacts of digital technology. You will grow your knowledge of how technology is created and the appreciation you have for solving problems, developing programs and building software.
How will it be delivered and assessed?
40% of your final grade is assessed during an on-screen programming assessment. A further 40% is assessed with a written examination on your theoretical understanding, and the final 20% is gained by completing a non-examined assessment (NEA), which will involve you programming a solution to a real world problem.
Entry requirements
Grade 7 or above in GCSE Computer Science or a Grade 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics.
