The two year Linear A level course is intended to give you the scope to develop your interest in different aspects of Computing and IT, including the many areas, such as mobile communications, games, networking, online services and neural networking which are currently at the forefront of development. It is particularly useful if you intend choosing a course at university with a strong computing component, but the emphasis on computational thinking would be welcome on many other courses, as it demonstrates high level academic skills. The course in Computer Science is both theory based and practical and over the two years you will learn about computer systems i.e. hardware, software, types of programming language, data and web technologies as well as legal, moral and ethical issues. You will be assessed by two terminal examinations, each worth 40% and also you will have the opportunity to undertake a coursework unit (worth 20%) in which you will design, analyse and solve a computing project.
