Coding for Reproducible Research: Introduction to Unix

Note on registration:

Registration for all courses is via this form. Note you will need to submit the form for each course you wish to register for.

All courses are currently scheduled to be held on Streatham Campus. We have some availability for online places for those unable to attend in person, but these are prioritised for those based outside of Exeter, or who have other reasons for to being able to attend in person. We know that some of you prefer to have the option to attend virtually, even if you are in Exeter, but in our experience, the learning process is greatly enhanced when you are in the room with the instructors, helpers and other participants. We therefore strongly encourage anyone who can attend in person to do so. We would also like to emphasise that you are more likely to get an in person place compared to a virtual place.

You can find out about all the courses we offer on our website. If there is a course there you are particularly interested in attending, please sign up to our mailing list to get priority notification of when it opens.
