Computing Club

Develop your technical skills and meet students with similar interests by joining the ARC Computing Club, and gain hands-on experience in a range of computing technologies!

Cluster Club
ARC's monthly Computing Club sessions are a mix of introducing new skills and opportunities to work on challenges.

Aimed at taught students who would like to further develop their skills, in particular regarding advanced computing platforms such as HPC or cloud compute.

Refreshments will be provided with opportunities to socialise and code collaboratively.

We hold the club sessions on the last Wednesday of the month from 14.00 [GMT] onwards.

Upcoming event dates

HPC clusters can perform the most demanding simulations and data-intensive analyses.
They are used in a wide range of academic disciplines and industry sectors including:
- modelling climate change
- developing energy-efficient catalysts
- understanding pharmaceutical drug-target interactions

This is a UCL student event
