Why study A level Computer Science?
A level Computer Science encourages learners to meet the needs of Higher Education courses in computer science as well as those of 21st century digital employers. It encourages learners to think creatively, through applying practical programming solutions, demonstrating that they are effective users of technology. They will also be able to appreciate the ethical issues that arise with current and emerging computing technologies.
How we use computers and computer programs has utterly defined the world we live in today and it is computer scientists who connect the abstract with reality, creating the products we use daily. With its foundations in Maths, Computer Science spans hardware and software engineering, the user interface, and computer technology’s expansion into new areas.
‘Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn.’ Stephen Hawking.
