We believe that the most effective way to learn is not by passively absorbing selected facts and ready-made content to reproduce for the next exam. That’s where curiosity-driven education comes into play. As part of an interdisciplinary learning experience, many modules offered by one of our three programs are also credited towards the other two.

At CODE we are not especially keen on handing out marks and grades, since we think that there are far better ways to document the skills and knowledge you possess.

At CODE we are not especially keen on handing out marks and grades, since we think that there are far better ways to document the skills and knowledge you possess.

That is why we are developing a special Competence Framework for our study programs. This framework encompasses the main competencies you can acquire while studying at CODE. Each competency is structured with different proficiency levels, with each level building on and incorporating the levels beneath.

At level zero you will not have any proficiency, while the last level represents the proficiency we expect from a bachelor’s student at the time of their final exam. All proficiency levels are aligned with the European Qualification Framework (EQF).

But first we want to find out what competencies you already have. Although we don’t demand it, we are sure that many of our applicants already have significant programming, design or product management skills, knowledge, and experience. Our goal is to make them tangible and document them in your Individual Competence Profile. This profile will be the cornerstone of your learning experience and represent your advancements and successes in a more meaningful way than any collection of grades.
