Organised by the Computer Science Society (EXCS) and Cyber Security Society (CyberSoc) of University Of Exeter, Hack South West is the most fun and enjoyable experience for students around the UK. Available to everyone from beginners to experts, this is a great opportunity to get into hackathons. Our welcoming atmosphere will surely encourage you to go to more!
We will run two events this year! Firstly in November there will be a Capture The Flag (CTF) competition, followed by the main hackathon event in February. The CTF will be a great way for anyone to get involved with problem solving and cybersecurity challenges, while the main hackathon will allow participants to build projects, learn new skills, and network with like-minded individuals. Both events include exceptional prizes and plenty of food to keep you going! To find out more about either event visit our registration website which you may find on this part of the website and also at the top!

Hackathon Event
This event will push you to develop your own creative solution to a challenge faced by the world. We look out for solutions that incorporate a high level of technical knowledge to a problem of significant impact in the world. Although, you will likely only work on this problem for a limited amount of time, we encourage you to continue to develop and deploy your solutions to either the web or other sources to both add to your portfolio, but also benefit humanity!
We are still working hard on organising this, please check out our socials for more information as it comes!
