What you will study
You cover computational thinking, algorithms, data structures, memory, and programming in C and Python, along with the foundations of web development and cybersecurity. Successful students can earn an official Harvard certificate. Alongside CS50x you plan and complete an independent EPQ project on a topic you choose.
How it is assessed
Assessment is project-based with no final examination. You are judged on the practical work you produce through CS50x and on your independent EPQ project.
Where it leads
This pathway opens routes to degrees and careers in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. The EPQ also builds the research and independent study skills that universities value, and ambitious applicants can explore the Top Universities Programme. For guidance on building your programme, see the Sixth Form Welcome.
How to apply
The CS50x and EPQ combination sits alongside three A-Levels and follows the school's standard Sixth Form entry requirements. To see how it fits your plans, book a visit.
