The department teaches the AQA specification. This course is not about learning to use tools or just training in a programming language. Instead the emphasis is on computational thinking. Computational thinking is a kind of reasoning used by both humans and machines. Thinking computationally means using abstraction and decomposition. The study of computation is about what can be computed and how to compute it. Computing involves questions that have the potential to change how we view the world. For example, we may be computing with DNA at some stage in the future, with computer circuits made of genes. Advances in Computing are transforming the way we work and this Computing course focuses on the knowledge, understanding and skills students need to progress to higher education or thrive in the workplace.
