Who are we?

University of Surrey’s computing community

We’re the official Computer Science departmental society for theUniversity of Surrey and the University of Surrey Student’s Union.

CompSoc community

Join a welcoming community where beginners and experienced programmers can learn, build, and share projects.

Expect guest speakers, careers support, hackathons and regular meetups across the year. We're connected across the UK, collaborating with other university societies and industry partners to bring you the best opportunities.

It's all about having fun as well - we run social events like game nights, movie nights, and more to help you unwind and disconnect from everything for a bit.

What do we do?

Game Jams

Fast-paced, team-based challenges where you design, prototype, and ship a game in a weekend, learning tools and teamwork rapidly. Distinguished speakers and industry judges often attend to provide insights, ensuring you walk away with more than just a game.

Hackathons

Build something ambitious, meet new teammates, and showcase your project to the community in a supportive, high-energy environment. There are many prizes to be won, and it's a great way to meet new people and learn new skills.
