Welcome to BCSS Online
It’s arrived.. finally. Welcome to the Bath Computer Science Society website.
The idea behind having a dedicated website for the society was to keep members updated with the latest BCSS events and news, and to provide members with an informal method of communicating with course mates both socially and academically.
You’ll notice that the website’s authenticate system runs off the Bath University SSO system. Obviously we don’t get access to your passwords so that’s safe - just make sure the url beings with https://auth.bath.ac.uk on the page you are typing your password into.
In the future you can expect notifications of upcoming social events, guest lectures, departmental news and general interesting news from the industry.
If anyone would like to post about anything they have been researching or developed then don’t hestitate to get in contact.
