Course Content

The course aligns fully with the Qualifications Scotland Advanced Higher Computing Science syllabus and is structured around four core areas:

1. Software Design and Development

Candidates gain knowledge, understanding, and advanced practical problem-solving skills in software design and development using appropriate development environments. They build object-oriented programming and computational thinking skills by analysing, designing, implementing, testing, and evaluating solutions, and by explaining how modular programs operate. Using their understanding of data types and programming constructs, candidates develop efficient programs to solve complex problems.

Key Topics:

• Development Methodologies
• Analysis & Problem Decomposition
• Design Techniques
• Implementation:
• • Data Types & Structures
  • Computational Constructs
  • Algorithm Specification
• Testing & Debugging
• Evaluation of Solutions
• Practice through Past Papers & Quizzes

1. Database Design and Development

Candidates develop knowledge, understanding, and advanced practical problem-solving skills in database design and development through a variety of practical tasks. They use SQL to create, manage, and query relational databases. Candidates apply computational-thinking skills to analyse, design, implement, test, and evaluate database solutions using appropriate development tools. They also demonstrate interpretation skills when working with complex database features in both familiar and unfamiliar contexts.

Key Topics:

• Analysis of Requirements
• Database Design (including relational models)
• Implementation using SQL (minimum three linked tables)
• Testing and Validation
• Evaluation of Database Solutions
• Practice through Past Papers & Quizzes

1. Web Design and Development

Candidates develop knowledge, understanding, and advanced practical problem-solving skills in web design and development through a range of practical and investigative tasks. They apply computational-thinking skills to analyse, design, implement, test, and evaluate solutions to web-based problems using development tools such as HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and PHP. Candidates also demonstrate interpretation skills when working with complex features in both familiar and unfamiliar contexts.

Key Topics:

• Analysis & Planning
• Web Design Principles
• Implementation:
• • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
• Testing & Debugging
• Evaluation of Web Solutions
• Practice through Past Papers & Quizzes
