CODE also offers a Pay Later model, under which you repay tuition only once you earn a significant income after graduation.

Tuition fees come on top of the proof of funds. For the student visa you still need to show 11,904 EUR for the year, usually in a blocked account, and that money has to be transferred months before the semester starts.

CODE admits students on a rolling basis directly through its own portal, so you can apply at any time; it takes applications up to a year before each intake. If you need a visa, apply as early as possible and confirm the timing for your intake with the admissions team; if a visa delay stops you starting on time, your enrolment rolls over to the next semester.

How many programmes are taught in English?

All programmes at CODE are taught in English, and English is the working language on campus. Programmes are in-person only, on the Berlin campus.
