What the college says

The A Level Computer Science qualification will teach you the core principles of computer science, building on the GCSE. It is therefore desirable, though perhaps not essential, that you have studied GCSE Computer Science and preferably have gained a grade 7 or higher. It is a highly practical subject with a large focus on programming. It is also an immensely creative subject that combines invention and excitement by developing your own solutions to real-world problems. An interest in programming is essential, as is the ability to think creatively and persevere until a solution is found. Mathematics skills are also helpful.

What you need to get on

GSCE 6 grade 5 (or C) in any any subjects including Maths and English Language, with min. 5 at grades 6 (or B). 7 to do Maths, Chemistry, Physics. 6 to do Biology or 76 in Combined. Grade 8 in Maths to do Further Math.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
