The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) is now accepting applications for its Introduction to Scientific Computing course – a practical, hands-on training opportunity designed to help early-career researchers and professionals work more effectively with scientific code and data.

17 – 19 November 2025
NCAS Headquarters, University of Leeds

Running this autumn, the course will equip you with the essential tools and techniques needed to confidently use Linux Shell and Python in environmental science research. Whether you’re handling climate data, atmospheric models, or large-scale simulations, this course is for you.

The course is taught as a series of hands-on workshops. You may register for the whole course as a package, or individual modules to suit their own learning needs.

We aim to equip students with fundamental knowledge and build the skills that are essential for almost all researchers in modern scientific disciplines. The course is highly interactive – you will be encouraged to ask questions and request support as needed.
