Discover the path to becoming a student at 42 Belgium.
From our online games to the immersive Piscine, our 4-step admission process evaluates your logic and determination rather than your academic background.
1.
Create your account and take our two online games.
No coding needed, it’s just logic. Reserve at least two hours and choose a quiet spot, as you can’t pause or restart. Stay focused and keep going — you’ve got this!
Duration: 2 hours
When: Available year-round
2.

Dive into our 4-week immersive selection.
You’ll be immersed for 4 weeks on our campus in Brussels or Antwerp. You’ll get a taste of coding, our unique approach, and life at 42.
You’ll dive straight into real tech projects—no coding experience needed, just the motivation to go for it. Don’t wait too long to sign up: places are limited.

Start the Core Program and build your future.
After passing the Piscine, you can officially start the Core Program.

We don’t have quotas, but the seats are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis! Don’t hesitate longer and secure your spot through the application portal!
During the selection process, you’ll try, maybe fail, and try again — and that’s the point. Every challenge builds your resilience, determination, and problem-solving skills, all essential for thriving in tech.
You’ll also get to experience our peer-to-peer, project-based way of learning. If it’s not for you, it’s fine to step away at any point in the process.
