Public landing page: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/course-listing/computer-science
Course lists: https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/teaching/courses/ True to form, courses appear to have identifiers, e.g. `qi` for the <Quantum Information course of the University of Oxford> rather than more arbitrary A1/A2/A3, B1/B2/B3, naming convention used by the <Mathematics course of the University of Oxford> and the <Physics course of the University of Oxford>, and URLs can either have years or not:
* https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/teaching/courses/qi/[]: no year: goes to latest
* https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/teaching/courses/2023-2024/qi/[]: has year, fixed year. Disgraceful repetition of redundant 2023-2024, but OK.
The "course materials" section of each course leads to https://courses.cs.ox.ac.uk/ which is paywalled by IP (accessible via <Eduroam>): TODO which system does it use? Some courses place their materials directly on "www.cs.ox.ac.uk", and when that is the case they are publicly accessible. So it is very much hit and miss. E.g. https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/teaching/courses/2022-2023/quantum/index.html from <Quantum Processes and Computation course of the University of Oxford> has the assignments such as https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/aleks.kissinger/courses/qpc2022/assignment1.pdf publicly visible, but e.g. https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/teaching/courses/2022-2023/modelsofcomputation/ has nothing.
Handbook:
* 2022:
* general https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/files/13731/CS%20Handbook%20final.pdf
* Year 1 (Prelims): https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/files/13794/Handbook%202022%20Part%20C%20-%20V1.3.pdf
* <Year 2 or 3 course of the computer science course of the University of Oxford>[Year 2/3 (Parts A/B)]: https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/files/13793/Handbook%202022%20Parts%20A%20&%20B%20V1.3.pdf There is some mixture on which courses can be taken on year 2 or 3. This also implies that they cannot have the usual A2/B2 naming scheme. They just don't have names instead mostly. It is also the most beautiful illustration of why you shouldn't do Compute Science at university: there's no depth to the subject. You can just take random courses and you learn it all quickly. <The only reason for universities to exist should be the laboratories>{full}.
* Year 2 has four mandatory core courses:
* <Models of computation course of the University of Oxford>[Models of Computation]
