Course Information

Computer Science is a new subject in both the primary and secondary National Curriculum 2014. It replaces ICT. There is a recognised massive national shortage of secondary school Computer Science teachers. This course, BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Secondary Education (QTS), will offer an entry point into the teaching profession.

The Computer Science element of the degree aims to produce software developers who can seamlessly make the transition from University to the international computer industry. This is achieved by providing a thorough grounding in the core principles of computer science and integrating these with computer languages, tools, techniques and methodologies used by computer professionals worldwide. 

The course will give you both Computer Science knowledge at degree level and the professional qualification of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) which will allow you to take up a teaching post within a secondary school.

As well as providing the essentials for accreditation as a teacher, this course covers the core elements of Computer Science:-

  • The course covers a lot of different aspects of Computer Programming, from the basics of using the Java language, through Object-Orientation and to Systems Programming, both with the Windows and Linux systems.

  • Theoretical Computer Science is introduced through studying Computation and Complexity.

  • Database systems are studied so that the place and context of data in an organisation can be recognised and managed.

  • By studying Digital Electronics a deeper understanding of the workings of a computer at component-level is gained and is built upon by studying Computer Architecture and Operating Systems.

  • Studying Networks and Website Development gives a good foundation in distributed systems both from hardware and software perspectives.
