Learn computer systems and computational thinking, then apply the knowledge through Python, algorithms, diagrams, data and exam-style responses.
The specification, connected
Students do not simply read definitions. They use diagrams, calculations, code, scenarios and exam responses to connect ideas across the course.
J277/01 · Computer systems
Includes number systems, data representation, calculations, topologies, threats, prevention and scenario-based evaluation.
J277/02 · Computational thinking, algorithms and programming
Students move between written algorithms, flowcharts, trace tables, Python and OCR Exam Reference Language.
