Questions before you apply?
Here are the answers applicants ask us most often.
We run admissions at the start of every semester. You apply through our website – the application is a few short questions about your motivation and which projects you're interested in. Follow us on Instagram and check the website for deadlines.
No! Motivation matters more than experience. We have projects for every level, and you learn along the way together with your team. Some programming experience helps, but it's not a requirement.
