Computer Science Advisory Service

Advisory is a drop-in service where you can get help with understanding course material or extra-curricular projects. Problems range from debugging to software installation to theoretical understanding.

So if you've got any problems with a particular module, or just want some help developing ideas, come by.

The service runs daily in the Delphinium between 14:00 and 16:00, including work week.

Timetable

All sessions take place in the Delphinium Monday to Friday they start at 2pm and will end at 4pm.

In the event that this room is booked you will be notified via email.
