After completing the Core Curriculum, you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in various areas in the Mastery.

Our Model

PEER LEARNING

You learn programming by collaborating with other students. Having no teachers, means that projects are evaluated through peer review.

PROJECT BASED LEARNING

Learn by doing. The curriculum consists of high quality and up-to-date projects which are constantly innovated by a group of experts.

SELF-ORGANISATION

Our campus is open 24/7. You structure your learning time yourself.

COMMUNITY

At 42 Heilbronn, students organise themselves into clubs (e.g. bitcoin, urban gardening) and plan activities together. Example: In the Hacker Dojo, students organise trips to Hackerthons.
