The UOP IT Society is an academic society for everyone interested in computing. If you’re curious about coding, a weathered Linux user, or anywhere in between, we have something for you. We offer a space where students can network, expand their skill set, and meet like-minded individuals passionate about tech.

We also regularly unwind, providing spaces for members who want to relax, have fun, and take a break from the digital world. Throughout the year, we host a variety of educational and fun events including:

• Lightning Talks from Industry Leaders – Meet industry experts and learn the tricks of the trade with us.
• Social Nights – Meet up and make new friends.
• Hacktoberfest Workshops – Get some practice and contribute to open-source code.
• Advent of Code - Join us in a coding battle where we go head to head to beat programming puzzles over the course of December.
• Seasonal Meals – Get some great food and company.
• Participation in Computing Events – Take on exciting challenges like Hackathons and Capture the Flag.
• Interview Challenges and Placement Opportunities – Prepare for the future with interview practice, help with placement applications and make the first steps into your professional career.

We are entirely free to join and open to any department and discipline across the university. Whether you’re here to build your skills, meet new people, or have fun, the IT Society has something for everyone.
