Admissions
We read every application ourselves. No automated funnel, no sales call before you have met a human teacher. Below: the process, the real numbers, and a calculator that includes the costs other schools leave out of the brochure.
How to apply
- 01
Send the form
Name, background, and 200 words on a question you'd like answered with data. That's the whole application at this stage.
- 02
Take-home exercise
Four hours, any weekend, a small dataset and three questions. We're reading how you caveat, not how fast you type.
- 03
Faculty conversation
Thirty minutes with two teachers. Bring your exercise; we'll push on one choice you made. Afterwards you get a yes, a no, or a specific "not yet".
- 04
Deposit & enrolment
US$ 250 refundable deposit holds your seat. Scholarship letters and payment plans are settled here, in writing, before day one.
Requirements
No degree required; no prior code required for Analytics. Engineering and ML ask for a year of programming in any language — the exercise will show us, and a "not yet" comes with a reading list.
All-in cost calculator
Tuition plus the weeks you're here. Adjust it; the total updates as you go.
All-in estimate
US$ 9,506
Estimates only; the offer letter is the contract. Deposit of US$ 250 applies to any option and is credited to tuition.
