One-Day "Crash Course"

Our hands-on, one-day course is designed to introduce researchers to essential practices in software engineering for research. We hope to get feedback from our initial run on 8th July before rolling it out to individual departments during the 2025-26 academic year.

Please get in touch with Fergus Cooper (rse-training@dtc.ox.ac.uk) if you are interested in your department or college running an iteration of this course.
