As the industry body for IT professionals, and a Chartered Engineering Institution for Information Technology (IT), the BCS exists to provide service and support to the IT community, including IT practitioners and employers of IT practitioners.
The Society also acts to generate public awareness and appreciation of the associated social and economic benefits in IT.
The BCS was formed to establish and maintain appropriate standards of education and experience for persons engaged in the profession or practice of IT and computing or those entering upon courses of study in computing and allied subjects.
The Society is governed by a Trustee Board comprising the President, the Deputy President, the immediate past President, up to nine Vice Presidents (including Vice-President Finance), and five professional members elected by the advisory Council.
Our vision is to see the IT profession recognised as being a profession of the highest integrity and competence.
