IGCSE Computer Science

Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science (0478) is a comprehensive syllabus that helps learners develop an interest in computational thinking and an understanding of the principles of problem-solving using computers. Here’s an overview of the subject:

Computer Systems:

• Learners explore the fundamental components of computer systems, including hardware, software, and       networks.

• Topics include memory, storage, input/output devices, operating systems, and data representation.

• Understanding computer architecture and organization is a key focus.

Algorithms, Programming, and Logic:

• This section delves into the  heart of computer science.

• Learners study algorithms, flowcharts, pseudocode, and logic gate symbols.

• They gain practical programming skills using a high-level programming language.

• Problem-solving techniques and  debugging strategies are emphasized.

Assessment:

• The assessment consists of two  papers:

• Paper 1 (Computer Systems): Covers computer architecture, memory, storage, and networks.

• Paper 2 (Algorithms, Programming, and Logic): Focuses on        programming, algorithms, and problem-solving.

• Mathematical requirements, flowchart symbols, logic gate symbols, and command words are essential for success in the exams.
