Computer Science AS Level

UPDATED 20161010 09:11:12

The course and syllabus for this subject do not have an advanced mathematical background, and therefore it is suitable for science and non-science students. However, do note that students wishing to take certain computing degrees may need to take Mathematics A Level. A keen interest in the use and application of computers in general, and in computer programming in particular is needed. Increasingly, Computing is being considered a desirable subject by many universities. For those students intending to study Computing further, it provides a sound foundation, but is also useful for a wide range of other courses, scientific and otherwise. Prospective employers will count the A Level as a suitable qualification for a wide variety of careers.
