Best CS department (The Times)
Why CSS?
The Computer Science Society (CSS) is one of the largest departmental
societies at the University of Birmingham. We're extremely proud of our
close links with the School of Computer Science, which was recently named
the 4th best computer science department in the country by The Times.
As the flagship society for computer science students, our aim is to provide
a welcoming and inclusive community for students to socialise, build their
technical skills, and prepare for fulfilling careers.
Each year, we work with companies of all scales to deliver intriguing and
informative events, from company workshops to talks and panels. If you're
looking to reach students in the heart of the UK, please reach out to us for
a tailored sponsorship proposal.
Recruit Top Talent
The University of Birmingham's Computer Science department is ranked 3rd for research in the UK (REF 2021), and CSS members consistently place highly in coding competitions, hackathons and Capture The Flag competitions.
A Fast Growing, Engaged Community
Last year, we reached a paid membership of 513 members - 121 more than the previous year. While this means 1 in 4 Computer Science students have purchased a membership, CSS events are frequently promoted by the School of Computer Science - meaning our actual reach is even greater than this.
Access to a Diverse Group of Students
CSS believes Computer Science should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background. Our society has members from all year groups, including undergraduate and masters students as well as PhD researchers. CSS is proud to work with organisations such as Women in Tech to support our female members. We also have dedicated events for International Women's Day and Pride Month.
Build In-Person Connections
We know the importance of connecting face-to-face, and we're keen to facilitate events with our sponsors on campus, so that you can meet our members. This direct interaction will make your organisation much more memorable, enabling you to bypass traditional recruitment methods.
