Cambridge GCE A Level Computer Science (9618)

Why take Computer Science at A Levels?

A Level or Advanced Level Computer Science makes a smooth and steady extension from the IGCSEs or Ordinary Levels. It not only adds to your top A Level subjects, but also prepares you for the real-world as a developer by giving you the necessary concepts and techniques needed at an early stage. Many students who continue into universities in engineering opt for A Level Computer Science as it contributes to their subjects as they proceed.

Who is it for?

If you are looking at a career in software engineering or any other tech-related stream, A Level Computer Science is for you. It gives you a good foundation in understanding the core concepts such as machine architecture, object-oriented programming, AI (Artificial Intelligence), networking and many more.

If you have any plans of university education in any engineering discipline, you are certainly better off with this subject at A Level.
