A Level Computer Science

Ever wondered how the web works or how to develop a computer game?
Computer Science is an exciting and challenging subject in which you will develop valuable skills in problem-solving as well as learning how computers work. 

Many of our students take Computer Science at university. You will gain skills and knowledge which will prove useful in a wide range of other courses and careers, particularly in maths, science and engineering. 

The A level course is strongly focused on problem-solving and programming. You will learn how to analyse issues, design algorithms and write programs. Some students have no previous experience of programming, and we assume none. We offer excellent support in the form of online resources and one-to-one help. However, we also provide adequate challenges for the increasing number of students who have taken a GCSE in Computing or Computer Science.

“Studying computer science at Hills allows you to develop effective problem-solving skills and to become a more independent thinker. The course covers an enjoyable range of programming and theory topics; the teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly.” MATTHEW, Computer Science student.
