In-Person Training

We host in-person training courses in all areas of software engineering.

All courses currently advertised are free for all members of the University of Oxford. Our training is targeted at researchers who need to write code, for example DPhil students and ECRs, but may be useful for others.

Online Training Material

We host a corpus of publicly-available training material related to software engineering: train.rse.ox.ac.uk/

You are welcome to work through any material at any time, and licensing and attribution information is available on every page by clicking the @ symbol at the top right of each page.

One-Day "Crash Course"

We will shortly be offering one-day training courses covering the absolute fundamentals of software engineering for research. These crash courses will be offered in departments, and will be an opportunity to ensure that researchers know about the constellation of tools available to help them write better software.

Please get in touch with Fergus Cooper (rse-training@dtc.ox.ac.uk) if you are interested.
