Computing places a strong emphasis on programming, algorithms and software engineering. It is by this emphasis that any Computing specification may be distinguished from any ICT specification.

Computing promotes a developer's view of systems. Thus the Computing specifications focus on learning the principles that underpin the construction of software and software tools, the application of these tools using the principles of software engineering and the programming of solutions to problems more wide-ranging than addressed by ICT specifications and current applications generator technology. The Computing specification has a strong theoretical foundation based in Computer Science which adds academic rigour to the subject as well as supporting formal approaches to the processes of problem analysis, software design and software construction. For these reasons, the Computing specification is an excellent foundation for careers in software development, support and Computer/Computing Science.
