This A Level will engage the logical and creative parts of your personality and bring the study of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) up-to-date for the 21st century. You can develop an understanding of how ICT can be used in society and organisations and the broader implications of its use. In the first year you will study two ‘big picture’ themes. Firstly, a focus on practical problem solving introduces you through hands-on experience to the various hardware and software technologies used in ICT and how to apply them to different applications in real life. The second theme is living in the digital world, which gives you a solid grounding in ICT areas like transferring data, backups and the interface between people and systems. In your second year you will build on the strong foundation from year one with two further study themes. In the first you will explore the use of ICT in the digital world, exploring technology developments, how to manage ICT projects and the use of ICT solutions within organisations. In the second year you will look at practical issues and get hands-on experience by conceiving, designing and implementing a real ICT-related system. Many students will go on to study an ICT based degree course. Often these courses are combined with closely related subjects, like Business Studies. Many past students have progressed onto IT apprenticeship programmes. Being a competent user of technology and understanding its potential will serve you well irrespective of your future education or career path.
