CODE: We believe that higher education needs an update. That’s why we’re currently building CODE, a private state-recognized University of Applied Sciences in Berlin educating the software developers, digital designers and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. While most universities are stuck with traditional lecture-based, linear and grade-oriented ways of learning, CODE is all about individual challenge-based learning. Our unique Bachelor programs incorporate several modern educational concepts like competency- and project-based learning, flipped classroom, mastery learning and P2P learning.
