What the college says

The continued rapid development in computing and technology is changing the way that we live our lives in the 21st century, from both a professional and social perspective. We face a future where internet-enabled devices will be found throughout our homes, driverless vehicles will travel down roads, and nanotechnology will combat illness and disease. It is vitally important that we have not only users of IT but those who are sufficiently skilled and knowledgeable to program computers, especially if we are to meet the technological demands of society. A Level Computer Science will provide you with a wide range of skills and knowledge, building on from the learning from GCSE, both in terms of the theory and programming aspects. This subject would be ideal for those students considering a career in a computer-related field.
