Any questionS?
Maybe we have the answer
When does the application period end?
Once the online application opens, it’ll stay open always. Your online test scores are saved for 1 year and you can choose which check-in and piscine dates you want to sign up for.
Do I need my own laptop for the piscine? How about during studies?
You do not need a laptop during the piscine. Both campuses will be equipped with iMacs to serve all students. During the studies, it is okay to use your own laptop, but it is not required and you’ll need to submit your work on the school’s iMacs for correction.
Do I need to be good at math?
No! Certainly, mathematical skills can be useful when coding, but the most important skill you need is logic.
I am a coder already, why should I apply?
Campus 19 offers a program with a world class curriculum that challenges students with projects of increased complexity. Every problem is unique and it requires you to think outside of the box, with other talented and motivated peers.
How do I apply? How are students selected?
Applications are always open. Clicking “Apply” in the main navigation and create an account on our admissions portal https://admission.s19.be/users/sign_in. After registration, you need to try our online test. If you succeed, you’ll need to participate for a check-in event. Finally, you’ll need to clear the last hurdle, the ‘Piscine’ – a 4-week immersive coding training that defines who gets in the school.
Campus 19 only requires that applicants pass the online test and attend a check-in event, before subscribing for a Piscine. Due to high demand, check-in events have limited spots and are filled on a first-come-first-serve basis, through the applications website. Piscine spots are filled through random selection.
During the Piscine, the applicant will be mainly evaluated based on their progress and team-work.
What are the requirements to apply?
Instead of having a certain background, education or degree, we expect applicants to be visionaries who are motivated and committed to the program. Having said that, we request that applicants are at least 18 by the time they start in the piscine or that at least, they can prove they obtained a high school diploma (in case <18y).
Do I have to come on campus to apply?
The online test can be done from anywhere in the world. Afterwards is a couple of weeks before the piscine starts you’re required to confirm that you’ll take a spot in it.
How many places are available each year?
This number varies each year and depends on how well applicants do in the piscines. We take everyone in who succeeds.
What type of skills do I need to be successful?
Enter your campus’ rules You need logical thinking and a problem-solving attitude. You need to be able to adapt and overcome difficulties, be proactive, curious, creative, thorough, and be able to collaborate. registration certificates.
Do I have to know the basics of coding before I apply?
Not at all! There’s no evidence those who coded prior to the Selection Piscine do significantly better during it than those who didn’t.
