Computing

Welcome to Derby Computing Community!
Our goal is to provide fun, social and academic opportunities through a collective love of computing. Our events will help you learn new skills, build bridges with staff and academic partners, and of course they are fun. Our events are aimed to be accessible to all students, so a high skill level in computing is not required.


🎯 Society Aims

  • •  Develop an inclusive environment for members to engage their creative skills through the design of games, software, and digital art.
  • •  Promote student community and collaborative connections with staff and industrial partners through a mix of fun and informative events.
  • •  Help promote extra curricular activities and programmes amongst the student community.
  • •  Provide opportunities for non-Computing students to try out various computing skills (e.g. making games, software, or setting up networks).
