The program is open to all individuals aged 18 and above who are permitted to work or study in the European Union. The learning journey at Campus 19 begins with "The Piscine," an intensive four-week, full-time coding immersion. This initial phase is designed to introduce students to the peer-to-peer, project-based methodology, fostering a culture of trial, error, and growth. Participants engage in collaborative projects, developing skills in algorithms and data structures, Unix command line and administration, backend and databases, front-end and web technologies, creative problem-solving, and software engineering practices. Upon completion of the program, graduates are equipped to enter the job market as world-class coders. Alumni maintain lifelong access to Campus 19 resources, ensuring continuous learning and professional development. Campus 19 is committed to inclusivity and accessibility. The program is entirely free for all students, with no tuition fees or hidden costs. Students are not required to own personal computers, as the campus provides necessary resources. This is made possible through the financial support of leading Belgian companies, which also collaborate with Campus 19 to offer internships, company visits, and workshops, further enhancing the learning experience and providing valuable industry connections.
