HackSussex runs an annual programming competition where all programmers studying at the University of Sussex compete to answer algorithmic coding puzzles. The first stage is a HackerRank competition where you can flex your knowledge of data structures and algorithms to answer as many questions as you can within a week! The next stage is a 8 player knockout competition where you will go toe to toe with other programmers, which will be streamed online. There is a prize pool involved for the winners of the competition.
