A new way of learning in higher education

At CODE you will experience a new way of learning. Our experiential learning approach enables you to acquire core competences that help you succeed in a dynamically changing world – even in fields that don’t yet exist.

The science of learning:
To effectively learn something, you shouldn’t just passively absorb selected facts and ready-made content to reproduce for the next exam. Information is best remembered when it is applied and embedded in a context of practical meaning. That’s where the experiential learning approach comes into play.

Our educational approach:
The challenging projects you work on, and the reflection on your experiences within these projects, let you come to a deep understanding of fundamental concepts that are relevant to you because they connect with your experience.

The right mindset:
You can then try to apply those concepts to your next challenge and learn more about its practical importance. After mastering a number of challenges in this fashion, you will develop what we call a pioneer’s mindset: a confidence in your ability to master yet unknown challenges by analyzing them critically, acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary, and effectively communicating and collaborating with others.
