Computer Science is a broad-based course where you will gain a sound understanding of the internal structure of computers and how they operate. A large part of the course will be spent studying programming and developing skills in expressing solutions to problems using algorithms. Advances in computing are transforming the way we work and our new Computer Science specifications are changing with the times. This course, with its emphasis on abstract thinking, general problem-solving, algorithmic and mathematical resoning, scientific and engineering-based thinking, is an excellent foundation for understanding these future challenges. AS LevelTopics covered at AS Level include: Fundamentals of ProgrammingFundamentals of Data StructuresSystematic Approach to Problem SolvingTheory of ComputationFundamentals of Data RepresentationFundamentals of Computer SymstemsFundamentals of Computer Organisation and ArchitectureConsequences of Uses of ComputingFundamentals of Communication and NetworkingA2 Level The AS level and A Level are co-teachable, therefore the A Level includes the same topics as the AS level plus the following: Fundamentals of AlgorithmsFundamentals of DatabasesBig DataFundamentals of Functional ProgrammingComputing Practical ProjectSome of the topics at AS level will h ave further, more advanced conmponents added to them which will be taught specifically for the A Level only.
