BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT - is a professional body, a learned society, a nominated body an awarding body and a registered charity in UK & worldwide.

Established in 1957, it was formerly (and is still legally) known as the British Computer Society.

BCS was created to bring together a number of different groups to try and deliver on the grand dream of making all aspects of computing into a compelling public benefit. Since then, BCS has evolved continually to meet the ever changing world , never more so than in the last few years.

The world changing quicker than ever, and this pace of change will only increase. Therefore, BCS respond and adapt quickly and more broadly to be relevant to the world we now live in so that we are ready for the future.

BCS has completely transformed; they have launched 'BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT', with the aim not just of serving the ever changing world of the IT /computing professional in all its many guises, but more broadly 'Enabling the Information Society' as an international force. Billions of people work directly in information technology in the world and computer science lies behind almost everything that happens in society today.

To really support not only these knowledge workers but an increasingly IT dependent society as a whole, BCS activities and capabilities have to become even more relevant to the members, the academic community, industry, government, volunteers and the wider public.
