Greetings from the Department of Computer Science, at the University of Oxford.
Please find information below about our Women in Computer Science Day, which is now open for bookings, and about our new Royal Institution Masterclasses in Computer Science.
Women in Computer Science Day
For: Year 10 & 11 girls
Tuesday, 22 May 2018
Location: Mathematical Institute, Oxford
Who the event is for: Year 10 and 11 girls from UK schools who are (planning on) taking Maths A-Level, and who are considering taking a maths/science related subject at university.
The day is designed to raise awareness of what Computer Science is at university level, to meet women (and men) who work in the Computer Science field and find out how they're changing the world. Find out what computer science really is: it's not just ICT and it certainly isn't just for boys and geeks. There will be a visit to a college and the chance to meet some current researchers. Students attending should have a flair for Maths.

For: Year 9 students (in the 2017–2018 academic year) at state schools in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Swindon, Gloucestershire, and Buckinghamshire
Saturdays 9 June to 14 July 2018 (inclusive)
The University of Oxford’s Department of Computer Science is pleased to announce its new series of Royal Institution Masterclasses in Computer Science. Year 9 students from state schools in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Swindon, Gloucestershire and Buckinghamshire can be nominated by teachers for these masterclasses. Students nominated should be judged to have potential and interest in the classes, and have a talent for mathematics. The masterclasses are a series of six workshops which are led by experts from industry, academia and education. They offer students in-depth investigations of topics in Computer Science, combining theory with interactive exploration.
Please note that the Department of Computer Science is contacting schools directly for nominations (up to two students per school). We are unable to accept nominations from students or parents/carers without teacher support.
Applications must be submitted by midnight on Sunday 13 May 2018. If your school is eligible and would like to nominate students, please ask a teacher to contact us (using a school email address) at
