Who we are
We’re a social society for anyone with an interest in computers or technology! Whatever you’re studying, from Management to Mechanical Engineering, from Criminology to Computer Science, joining BCSSjoining BCSS is a great opportunity to make friends and have fun! We are also a student chapter of the British Computer Society.
What we do
We hold a variety of events. Some are more tech-oriented, while others are purely social. We have everything from 24-hour hackathons to workshops with companies like Intel. On the social side of things, we organise trips, board game socials, barbeques and drinks, among our other events.
Tickets
A big thank you to QRT for enabling us to keep providing bigger and better events!

Welfare and Inclusivity
We really want you to feel safe and included in BCSS, no matter your background, course or culture. If you have concerns about a member of BCSS or an event we are running, please contact our Welfare and Inclusivity Officer in the first instance. Emails sent to this address will be treated as confidential where possible, but in some circumstances we are required to share information with the Students’ Union. If concerns relate to a committee member, please speak to a committee member if you feel comfortable doing so, or make a report to the Students’ Union directly. You can find more details on complaints here.
If you have specific access needs that we are not meeting, please let us know! You can email the entire committee or just our Welfare and Inclusivity Officer. You can also disclose your needs directly to the Students’ Union. Even if we can’t meet your needs straight away, we can try to improve!
If there’s anything else you want to talk about, please do get in touch with any committee member using whatever form of communication you prefer!
Photography
We take photos of participants at some of our events. If you don’t want photos of you to be published on our website, please let a committee member know on the day.
