Further, the orientation semester assists students to learn skills from all three programs. Afterwards they can decide which program they want to continue. Proud of its on-campus international community, CODE also arranges varied evenings where students can get together and cook a dish of their own country and share a little bit about the cultures of each other. Manuel pinpoints, "Apart from imparting our courses in the English language in order to break the language barrier for international students, from time to time we conduct interpersonal and intercultural skills workshops, letting all the students celebrate the beauty of diversity." The student council, in addition, enables all the students to come under one roof every week and process their wishes and comments, thus strengthening the CODE community.Learn in a Lively MilieuWhere in a traditional campus, students are bound to remain surrounded with only fellow students, researchers, and professors; CODE is placed inside one of the largest startup campuses in Europe ­ Factory Berlin. This benefits the students in a number of ways- from giving access to an inspiring work environment and exclusive events to the ability to meet the most creative minds of the world. "It's a great opportunity for the students who are planning to become an entrepreneur after graduating as while studying at CODE, they can also keep in touch with emerging business leaders. We also put ample stress on stimulating their entrepreneurial spirits by boosting them to work in teams," says Manuel.As the institute ardently promotes practical learning, it assigns the students numerous projects throughout their course tenure, where they have to work on the development of a product -right from the scratch to the execution in co-operation with their team members. Justifying this, Sparsh Tyagi, another Indian student studying at CODE says, "CODE teaches you about teamwork and agile methodologies. You learn about the very aspects behind the collaboration and communication skills required to work as a team. Instead of targeting on grades/marks, CODE concentrates on true learning and first-hand experiences."Another incredible effort by CODE is its flexible tuition-fee models: an income-based delayed tuition model with no upfront tuition-fee payment, where students can start paying the fee after finishing their studies and start earning money and a monthly fee model. "The standard of education we offer at CODE makes us confident that each of our students will launch into exceptional careers. The internship opportunities and the projects carried out by the students altogether, lets our graduates stand out in the crowd of others and showcase their works right after graduating," elaborates Manuel. CODE enjoys a great rapport with numerous organizations and personalities who are often invited to contribute to the learning process and expose students to real-life experiences. "We are in the process of establishing and extending sound relationships and agreements with varied international institutions around the world for the mutual benefit of the students and different stakeholders of education arena," concludes Manuel.
