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.

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.

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.
- 03
Decision within ten days
Offers, waitlists and referrals to a better-fitting program are communicated with reasons. Scholarship decisions arrive with the offer.
- 04
Join the cohort
Accept, pay the deposit or scholarship confirmation, and meet your cohort at orientation.
