International students at CODE
Join our community from all over the world!
At CODE we strive to create an international and diverse community. At the moment we have students from over 80 countries and we welcome everyone regardless of where they are from. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding your personal situation!
We're here to support you
- Worried about starting at a new uni and moving to a different country? Every new student has a student buddy from one of the older generations. They’re there to help you learn the ropes or direct you to someone who can help!
- Want to work in the EU? Your visa will determine whether you’re able to, but typically international students can work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year.
- Berlin is not enough? We offer multiple study abroad opportunities for our students.
The first lesson I learnt from the day I joined CODE, is to never EVER doubt yourself but always be skeptical of what’s around you.
Applicants from outside the EU
We recommend that you allow for up to 3 months to complete the visa process.
Things to consider before you apply:
Familiarize yourself with the general requirements to study at CODE and do some research about studying and living in Berlin.
We recommend that you plan on it taking up to 3 months to complete the visa process. Assistance from CODE for our admitted students will include support during the visa process in your home country and also once you arrive in Germany.
Think about expenses you might have to take care of to make your CODE dream come true. Perhaps a scholarship is a solution.
We do not offer accommodation or any commitment to assume cost-of-living expenses for you.
