Here's how we are innovating the learning experience:

Is the Amsterdam Tech Learning Experience Right for You?

Will I have to go to a campus?

No, our online platform and part-time workshops/action learning groups/mentoring let you work while you study.

One of the things I really want in my education is someone who knows their stuff and will work with me.

Amsterdam Tech is about social learning where you will have the opportunity to join a community of learners, mentors, and facilitators, through workshops, mentoring and action learning groups.

I'm not an academic - I'm more hands-on. Is this school right for me?

Our emphasis on project-based learning makes it easy and accessible for people whose strength is in practical learning.

    I want to express my gratitude to Amsterdam Tech University for accepting me and providing the opportunity to grow as a student in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Despite having no background experience in coding before starting my studies, this did not disrupt the flow of my learning or that of my colleagues. I believe this is thanks to the experienced professors who guide us through the learning process and are always there when needed. Overall, I am thankful to Amsterdam Tech University and all its professionals who put in the effort to make it happen.

    In these remote times, ELU is the best platform for studying online along with having a full-time career. The diverse and international environment of ELU will provide me a good boost to my professional career and I am learning a lot. Before stepping into the program, I had my concerns on how I will manage both study and work, What is it like to study fully online,.. But, It is already happening, I am implementing what I am learning at work and vice versa. It give me more insight into the software engineering process, I met people from outside the work and still talk software. It is really a cherry on the top of my professional career.

    I joined ELU after discovering coding through a coding Bootcamp. With an agile enrolment process, supportive and highly skilled university employees, modern learning approaches, and international students' cohorts - ELU is a great place to study! Especially, if you want to further develop your leadership skills, and to enhance your coding superpowers.
