This is not another bootcamp. The Piscine lasts four weeks, including weekends, day and sometimes, night. You’ll be coding your heart out with other candidates, all hoping to earn the same prize: to enroll as a full-time student at Hive.
We only ask that you can use a mouse and a keyboard. Everyone, regardless of background, will get hands-on tasks from day one, face the exact same challenges at the same time, and be pushed to collaborate with each other.
Collaboration is essential to thrive in the real world and so it is in Hive. The Piscine is not a competition. Instead, you work together and cooperate with other applicants. If everyone succeeds, we take everyone in. Statistically, about 1/3 of swimmers make it to Hive.
Applying to Hive Helsinki is quite different compared to other schools. In summary, it goes like this:
→ Try our online game.
→ Attend a check-in event to learn more about Hive and the application process.
→ Participate in our free boot camp, learn C coding fundamentals, and get selected to Hive!
The best part? Applying to Hive is not a competition. Instead, you work together with other applicants to learn the basics of programming.
Piscines 2024 are organized at Hive Helsinki campus in Kallio, Helsinki.
You need to be a EU-citizen or have a valid residence permit to study at Hive.
