Admissions

Admission is a conversation, not a filter.

We admit for evidence of independent thinking and a real problem you care about. Credentials help; they are not the point.

How it works

Four steps.

  1. 01

    Apply online

    A forty-minute form: your background, a statement about a problem you want to solve with AI, and a CV or LinkedIn profile.

  2. 02

    Talk to faculty

    Shortlisted applicants have a 45-minute conversation with a member of faculty. It is technical for technical programs, and candid for all of them.

  3. 03

    Decision within ten days

    Offers, waitlists and referrals to a better-fitting program are communicated with reasons. Scholarship decisions arrive with the offer.

  4. 04

    Join the cohort

    Accept, pay the deposit or scholarship confirmation, and meet your cohort at orientation.

Scholarships & funding

Money should not be the reason you do not apply.

  • Women in Engineering scholarships. Two full-tuition awards per diploma cohort, funded by an alumni gift.
  • Need-based awards. Up to 50% of tuition on the diploma and certificates. Indicate need on the application; no separate form.
  • Employer sponsorship. Many learners are sponsored through the enterprise programme. Ask your manager, or ask us to write to them.
  • Instalments. Tuition can be paid in three instalments across the program at no extra cost.
