A wealth of resources is available to Informatics students online, from the course-specific material listed below to background information and to general study aids, from advice on taking unseen exams and on getting the best from reading lists to guidelines for punctuation and essay writing.

Not all resources are online of course: paper copies of course notes - usually the lecture overheads - are often produced, and sold in the Informatics library/resource centre in Room 207, Chichester 1, which also includes books on study skills.

Masters students: please note that many courses listed as level 3 are available to the MSc programmes, in addition to those listed as Masters level courses. Check with the documentation on your MSc scheme for details.

These are courses being taught in the current academic year.
