Computer Science equips you with the tools to build innovative technology, often used to solve society’s most complex and important problems in many areas such as engineering, banking, communication, and medicine. Computer Science is more than coding – it develops your technical understanding and ability to analyse and solve problems. Component 1 - The characteristics of contemporary processors, input, output and storage devices - Software and software development - Programming - Exchanging data - Data types, data structures and algorithms - Legal, moral, cultural and ethical issues Component 2 - Elements of computational thinking - Problem solving and programming - Algorithms to solve problems and standard algorithms
To study A levels at QPCS you have to achieve at least six GCSE grades 5 - 9. Grade 7 in Maths, and Grade 6 in Computer Science if studied.
Written examination and coursework. The Practical Programming Project - produce a complete working solution to a problem - for example a data-processing problem of an organisation, a scientific or mathematical problem, a simulation of a real-life situation, a computer-aided learning system, or a control system / robotics.
