Student life

Student life

A distance cohort is still a cohort: peer support, clubs, events and ties that outlive the programme.

Student community

A forum per cohort and per programme, run by student representatives. Peer support is encouraged and supervised.

Clubs and societies

Technology, entrepreneurship, debate and culture clubs. Each has a digital space and an activity budget.

Events

Conferences, meetings with professionals, hackathons and recruitment days, online and on site.

Mentoring

Every student can be matched with an industry professional for regular guidance. We advertise no alumni mentoring: the first cohort has not graduated yet.

Access after you leave

The content you took and peer support stay available once the programme ends. We advertise no alumni network: there is none yet, and it will form with the first cohort.

Support and wellbeing

A cohort supervisor tracks attendance and steps in when a student falls behind, before the situation becomes irrecoverable.
