About Course

AS Level Computer Science builds on GCSE or IGCSE foundations with more advanced algorithms, data structures, and a substantial programming project component.

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

Lessons support both the more demanding theory content and the substantial practical programming project most boards require at this level.

Many of our AS Level Computer Science students are also preparing for the transition into A2, so our tutors build genuine programming and theoretical depth that carries through directly into the second year.

Because Computer Science blends increasingly complex theory with real project work, our tutors support both sides consistently throughout the course.
