The Computer Science course will be attractive to students who are interested in or excited by technology. It will also appeal to those thinking of Engineering, Maths or Science and can be taken as part of a broad range of options. The Computer Science curriculum is wide-ranging, and includes both theory and practical skills. You will not be expected to have completed any high-level programming before you start, as we will teach you to write your own programs. Studying Computer Science at A Level will be a real asset to almost any future career path. For example students who study Computing can go on to a career in medicine, law, business, politics or any type of science. Progression from Computer Science A Level can be to an undergraduate course in 'Computing' itself or 'Software Engineering', (subjects offered by almost every university and college in the country) or in a specialism (Business Computing, E-Commerce, Computer Graphics, Animation, Audio Technology, Forensics, etc.) or as one of the many combinations with other subjects. Students who study Computer Science will develop their problem-solving ability in a computing context, as well as developing communication skills and discovering new ways to use and analyse information. The emphasis of the course is on computational thinking, which is a type of reasoning used by both humans and machines. Thinking computationally is an important life skill and involves questions that have the potential to change how we view the world.
