What will I study? Computer Systems • Characteristics of processors, IPOS devices • Software and software development • Exchanging data • Data types, data structures and algorithms • Legal, moral, cultural and ethical issues Algorithms and Programming • Elements of Computational Thinking • Problem solving and programming • Algorithms to solve problems and standard algorithms Programming Project • Analysis, Design, Development and Evaluation Career paths: Employers are interested in both the technical and the non-technical skills gained during the Computer Science course. Many students progress to university to study similar degrees, but computational thinking skills and applications are useful for a variety of degrees. Jobs directly related to the degree include: Database Administrator, Games Developer, Information Systems Manager, IT Consultant, Multimedia Programmer, Network Engineer, Systems Analyst and Systems Developer. Jobs where the degree would be useful include: Geographical Information Systems Officer, IT Sales Professional, IT Trainer, Secondary School Teacher and Technical Author.
Recommended for those who have studied GCSE Computer Science, and are strong candidates in Math's and the Sciences. Computer Science complements Math's and Science A Level options.
Assessed via two examinations (both 2.5 hours each) and a computing project.
