What the college says

Even if you haven't studied Computer Science before, if you enjoy problem solving and are logical and good at Maths then this is the right course for you. Studying CS will give you a great head start if you want to go on and study a technology-based subject at a higher level. Many of our students study Maths and Physics alongside, our BTEC courses in either Computing or IT also work well with this course, as well as other science A Levels. The course has a lot of mathematical content, from the decision-type maths area. If you choose not to study Maths A Level it may make understanding some of the theoretical aspects tough and limit some options for Higher Education.
