Regarded as a science, alongside Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Design Technology and other similar subjects, this IB DP course which was currently  a part of group 5 has now been shifted to group 4.

The IB DP Computer Science is a rigorous and practical problem-solving course. It helps in the understanding of the fundamental concepts of computational thinking and imparts knowledge on how to operate computers and other digital devices. Fortified by conceptual thinking, this course ranges a wide spectrum of knowledge, and it encourages innovation through exploration and inquisitiveness. Apart from the basic fundamentals, students also learn how computer science impacts cultures, societies and its individuals and how it affects the ethical issues.

As mentioned in the syllabus, the aims of this course are:

• develop logical and critical thinking as well as experimental, investigative and problem-solving skills
• develop and apply the students’ information and communication technology skills in the study of computer science to communicate information confidently and effectively
• raise awareness of the moral, ethical, social, economic and environmental implications of using science and technology
• develop an appreciation of the possibilities and limitations associated with continued developments in IT systems and computer science
• encourage an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and the overarching nature of the scientific method.
