Context This course sees students develop a set of skills which are recognised as being distinct and valuable. Although coding is important, the course has more to offer, including abstraction and decomposition to think through problems. This course provides the ideal foundation for those students who wish to pursue ICT or Computing at degree level or as a career. The practical assessments (examination & project based, depending on route taken) contribute a significant amount towards the final grade. Candidates will gain skills that can be transferred indirectly into many disciplines. What you will study The specification is divided into topics, each covering different key concepts of chemistry: Unit F451 Computer Fundamentals Unit F452 Programming Techniques and Logical Methods Unit F453 Advanced Computing Theory Unit F454 Computing Project The aims of these specifications are to encourage candidates to develop: The capacity to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically; An understanding of the organisation of computer systems, including software, hardware, data, communications and people; The ability to apply skills, knowledge and understanding of computing, including programming, in a range of contexts to solve problems; Skills in project and time management; How You Will Be Assessed Advanced Computing Theory which is assessed by examination and A2 F454: Computing Project which is a piece of coursework.
