Hello! We are CSS – the Computer Science Society at the University of Birmingham. Our aim is to provide a wide range of social, tech and careers activities for all; enabling our members to get to know each other, relax, and enjoy themselves in a friendly environment. We host events such as quiz nights, pub nights, hackathons, tech talks and workshops. Alongside these, we run special events such as the annual CSS Ball and are also active in maintaining links with industry to help you prepare for the world outside of university.
