This is a modern qualification which gives an insight into a range of computing systems, including an understanding of the principles of programming and the solving of problems. Computers pervade every aspect of modern life. The microprocessor which lies at the heart of every computing system is found absolutely everywhere. Modern society simply could not function without computers, but few people really understand how it all works. Computer Science will give you a deep insight and understanding into how a computer works.
