Because the program is heavily centered on teamwork, students learn to self-organize. Note: Our campus is currently under construction, and in the meantime, we’ve partnered with local government agencies to use a space in the library as our main campus. We’re excited to unveil our brand-new campus in 2026, where you’ll have access to 24/7 facilities designed to support your learning experience around the clock.

If you successfully complete the immersive program, you will be invited to join our full study program. Our evaluation is mainly based on the student's progress and teamwork. We are also considering multiple other factors when selecting our students. Unfortunately, we. Do not publicly share the specific selection criteria. We want our students to focus on their learning as much as possible.
  • What are the requirements to apply?

During the Immersive Program, you will discover the basics of coding from scratch. No prerequisites of any kind are needed: no previous degrees and no coding experience. This period will be very intensive and requires commitment. I promise you this will be the hardest part of all – but a rewarding one.

    We will email you the exact dates of the immersive program after you have submitted your application. You can also visit our application page to see the most up-to-date schedule and upcoming start dates.

  • What if I want to quit the immersive program halfway?
    That’s totally okay! Applicants are free to leave the admissions process at any point. You can walk out with no strings attached.
  • Do I receive an official degree when I finish?
    No, you do not receive an accredited degree, as this educational model is new and does not correspond to any traditional definition. However, our results show that this is not a problem in the technology sector, given that companies tend to only care about what you can do, who you are, and how you work.
  • What kind of jobs will I be able to apply for?
    Upon completion of your study, you will have access to many positions and jobs in the digital world, from startups to worldwide leading companies, in existing roles or those yet to be invented. We also encourage you to build your own company!
