Computer Science 9618

The Cambridge International AS & A Level Computer Science (9618) qualification equips learners with a strong foundation in computing principles, computational thinking and programming skills. It helps students build analytical, logical and problem-solving capabilities that are essential for understanding how computer systems operate and how software solutions are created.

This course is suitable for learners who want to pursue further study in computer science, software engineering, information systems, and related fields at higher education level, as well as those who wish to develop practical and conceptual computing skills relevant to modern digital environments.

Learners begin by studying fundamental concepts such as data representation, hardware and communication, and then progress to more advanced topics including algorithms, abstraction, artificial intelligence and further programming techniques.

Assessment throughout the two-year programme is designed to test understanding of theory alongside problem-solving and practical programming skills, preparing learners for both university study and real-world applications of computing.
