What the college says

You'll be assessed throughout with a mix of coursework and one exam per year. This structure is best suited for people who prefer continuous assessment and want a greater mix of exams and coursework. We find this subject is best taught through project-based work and practical tasks, where you learn by creating. If you enjoy programming practical solutions and games, and want an approach that requires less maths than computer science, this course is great for you. This course complements many others, depending on the route you'd like to take. Graphic design pairs well with game programming for those who enjoy creating their own graphics. If you want the widest range of options for university courses, maths helps provide this. If you're really interested in programming, it pairs well with A-level computer science.
