A-level Computer Science

OCR ‐ A Level

The course looks at a number of topics ranging from CPUs and process control to algorithms and practical programming. In developing its new specifications, OCR has worked to ensure that the subject content is relevant to real‐world experience and is interesting to learn. This Computer Science course is a stepping stone to future study, which is why OCR also consulted universities, to ensure these specifications allow students to develop the skills needed for higher education or industry. This approach has led to specifications that will nurture a passion for physics and lay the groundworks for further study in science or engineering based roles. An A Level in Computer Science demonstrates not only a sound mathematical competency but also the ability to clearly explain, develop and improve some of the most relevant technologies that will shape the society of the future.

Course Breakdown

A Level Computer Science is a two year course. All of the exams are carried out at the end of the second year. There are also practical programming tasks that students are required to undertake in a programming language of their choice.
