The course provides a very comprehensive introduction to all aspects of computing, including programming, computer hardware, software and communications: Fundamentals of programming Fundamentals of data structures Fundamentals of algorithms Theory of computation Fundamentals of data representation Fundamentals of computer systems Fundamentals of computer organisation and architecture Consequences of uses of computing Fundamentals of communications and networking Fundamentals of databases Big Data Fundamentals of functional programming Systematic approach to problem solving Non-exam assessment – the computing practical project What will I be doing in lessons? Initially, the lessons will be biased towards programming in C# so that the students will be able to develop their programming skills.
Students will need to have gained a GCSE Computing at grade 6 and an aptitude in programming.
Paper 1: On-screen examination 2 hrs 30 mins 40% of A Level Paper 2: Written examination 2 hrs 30 mins 40% of A Level Non-examined assessment: 75 marks 20% of A Level
