A-Level Computer Science is a challenging and fast-paced subject which considers the way that technology transforms our lives in an increasingly digital world. It has computational thinking at its core, which encourages us to take a complex problem and develop possible solutions using decomposition, abstraction, logical thinking, and algorithms.
Computer Science is also a creative subject that involves the innovative thinking and development of ideas through coding.
Modules on this course include:
Typically, you will study this course alongside 2 or 3 other A-Level subjects. You can apply for any A-Level combination, however, please be aware that not all subject combinations can be guaranteed. Timetabling constraints mean that some subjects may run at the same time, making it difficult to accommodate every combination. Our team will discuss any clashes with you at the point of enrolment, and we’ll work with you to discuss alternatives where required.
It is not possible to study a combination of A-Level and vocational or T-Level courses together. These pathways are designed differently making it impractical to deliver them side by side.
You will need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including maths and English and at least one grade 6 in a written subject. Must need a 5 in computer science and physics/maths.
