[6] Between 1987 and 2006 students started studies on a four-year (undergraduate) MEng in Engineering and Computing Science (now discontinued).

– the Oxford term for a PhD) working across a wide range of subjects in computer science and software engineering.

[citation needed] After fifty years within the department, the Numerical Analysis group moved in 2009 to be part of the university's Mathematical Institute.

[19] The first director, Leslie Fox,[20][21] was appointed in 1957 and the following year the department moved into its first home, 9 South Parks Road.

[24] Complementing the Numerical Analysis Group (NAG), the Programming Research Group (PRG) was set up in 1966 at 45 Banbury Road under the leadership of Christopher Strachey[25] with the aim "to bring some coherence into the present ad hoc nature of programming and software".

[26] After Strachey's untimely death in 1975, Tony Hoare took over leadership of the PRG in 1977 until his retirement in 1999 and introduced a computer science undergraduate degree programme at Oxford.

[14] The neighbouring houses at 5–7 Keble Road and a new "e-Science building" behind these provided additional space upon opening in 2007.
