About Course

A Level Computer Science is the culmination of AS Level study, adding advanced theory, functional programming concepts, and the completion of a substantial major programming project.

Because A Level is offered through AQA, Cambridge, Edexcel, and OxfordAQA, exact project requirements and theoretical depth differ between boards. Centaurus Academy's A Level Computer Science tutors specialise in this subject and level alone, giving you an online A Level Computer Science tutor trained on the specific board your child follows, with A Level Computer Science tuition online built around that exact syllabus.

Lessons support both the advanced theoretical content and the completion of the major programming project, which carries substantial weight in most boards' final grades.

Many of our A Level Computer Science students are applying to competitive university courses, including Computer Science and Software Engineering, so our tutors understand exactly what strong grades and a strong project require.

Because final A Level grades and the major project carry real weight for university offers, our tutors treat every session with genuine seriousness right up to submission and exam day.
