Cambridge O Level Computer Science provides an ideal foundation in computer science. Learners gain confidence in computational thinking and programming, an appreciation of automated and emerging technologies and the benefits of their use.

They develop an understanding of the main principles of problem-solving by creating computer-based solutions using algorithms and a high-level programming language. Learners also develop a range of technical skills including the ability to test effectively and to evaluate solutions.

Our approach to O Level Computer Science encourages learners to be:

confident, interested in learning about computer science and using technical language to communicate their knowledge and understanding

responsible, working systematically, safely and securely when using technology

reflective, learning from their experiences when creating programs and using technology; understanding how technology impacts society

innovative, solving unfamiliar problems and designing computer programs creatively and independently

engaged, keen to develop computer science skills and further their understanding of developments in the use of technology.
