1. Create your online account
Go to the 42 Belgium admissions portal https://admission.42belgium.be/en/users/sign_in.
Enter your basic information and set up your profile.
2. Complete the online test
This is a logic-based game designed to assess your analytical thinking. Set aside around 30 minutes and choose a quiet place where you can focus. The game cannot be paused or restarted.
3. Attend a Meeting
If you pass the test, you’re obligated to attend a Meeting, either on campus or online. This is your opportunity to explore the learning environment, ask questions, and decide if you want to continue. The Meeting is also your first real introduction to the 42 community.
4. Take part in the Piscine
This is the final and most important step: four intense and immersive weeks of coding. You work on real projects, in teams, and with a high degree of autonomy. The Piscine is both a selection and preparation phase -it shows whether you are ready to begin the program.
👉 If you successfully complete the Piscine, you become an official 42 Belgium student and can start the Core Program.
The number of available check-ins and Piscine spots is limited. Applicants who register early have the best chance of securing a place.
During the Piscine, the applicant will be mainly evaluated based on their progress and team-work.
