Course summary

A Level Computer Science is a full time linear course worth an A Level. The course will have a strong focus on programming building upon GCSE Computing concepts. An emphasis on the importance of computational and maths thinking as a discipline will be embedded throughout the course. This qualification consists of two examined components Computer Systems (01) and Algorithms and Programming (02), externally assessed by OCR and one internally assessed and moderated non-exam assessment component Programming Project (03). The Programming Project will have a greater emphasis on coding and programming with a simple assessment model and marking criteria.
