Sometimes good ideas need a decade to ripen

When Thomas Bachem – self-taught soft­ware en­gi­neer and de­signer – was look­ing for study pro­grams to pro­mote his en­deav­ors as an in­ter­net en­tre­pre­neur, he was dis­ap­pointed to see that the aca­d­e­mic land­scape mostly fo­cused on the never-chang­ing basic prin­ci­ples of Com­puter Sci­ence, in­stead of the ex­cit­ing new pos­si­bil­i­ties of the in­ter­net and its op­por­tu­ni­ties.

He de­cided to study Eco­nom­ics at a pri­vate busi­ness school in Cologne, which is where he ex­pe­ri­enced first­hand the rad­i­cal drive to apply aca­d­e­mic the­o­ries to the real world and a per­sonal, sup­port­ive learn­ing en­vi­ron­ment. Out of both his fruit­less search for a truly ap­plied soft­ware-en­gi­neer­ing pro­gram and his rev­o­lu­tion­ary ex­pe­ri­ence at the pri­vate uni­ver­sity, the idea for CODE was born: CODE would be to Com­puter Sci­ence what busi­ness schools are to clas­sic Eco­nom­ics pro­grams.

One decade later, Thomas had al­ready founded sev­eral suc­cess­ful in­ter­net star­tups. As an en­tre­pre­neur and em­ployer, he dis­cov­ered time and time again that good soft­ware en­gi­neers, de­sign­ers and prod­uct man­agers – the key dri­vers for am­bi­tious dig­i­tal com­pa­nies – are a rare re­source in Eu­rope and Ger­many in par­tic­u­lar be­cause clas­si­cal uni­ver­sity pro­grams rarely qual­ify young men and women for the chal­lenges of the new econ­omy.

Bachelor of Arts in Interaction Design

Campus Full time 3 years October 2019 Germany Berlin

Our Interaction Design program takes future designers on a journey that explores the look, feel and behavior to create positive experiences through technology. In the vast and fast-paced discipline of Interaction Design our study program prepares you to work in the creative industry where you put the human, instead of the function, as the starting point of designing the interaction with technology.

This program takes future designers on a journey that explores the look, feel and behavior to create positive experiences through technology. In the vast and fast-paced discipline of Interaction Design our study program prepares you to work in the creative industry where you put the human, instead of the function, as the starting point of designing the interaction with technology. Your career choices With a trained grasp of de­sign con­cepts and prac­ti­cal im­ple­men­ta­tion com­pe­tence, you will be re­spon­si­ble for the look, feel and user-friend­li­ness of the soft­ware you are work­ing on. You will be able to cre­ate low-fi­delity sketches and pixel-per­fect mock­ups, val­i­date dif­fer­ent de­signs and style ap­proaches by con­duct­ing split A/B tests and mea­sur­ing prod­uct per­for­mance. Be­cause you will be the join­ing bolt in a team of mar­keters, prod­uct man­agers, coders and other stake­hold­ers, you will mas­ter an em­pa­thetic and co­op­er­a­tive style of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. As an in­ter­ac­tion de­signer, you don’t just make things that work look pretty. You are re­spon­si­ble for the align­ment with cus­tomer in­ter­ests and there­fore the suc­cess of your dig­i­tal pro­ject. We will not tell you, what (or who) you will be after grad­u­at­ing at CODE – this de­ci­sion will be to­tally up to you. But to give you an idea, we rec­om­mend you head over to Dig­i­tale-leute.de for some very in­ter­est­ing in­ter­views with in­ter­ac­tion de­sign­ers from the dig­i­tal econ­omy. Tools & technologies you can experience The program is focused on a set of modules that explore the range of the discipline interaction design. As a... [-]

Bachelor of Arts in Product Management

Campus Full time 3 years October 2019 Germany Berlin

Product managers are responsible for identifying potential new products/markets, generating requirements, and developing product-introduction and marketing strategies. During your product management bachelor program, you will learn how to perform these tasks by gathering and analysing data. You will learn to base your decisions on theoretical and practical insights from the fields of business economics, data science, design thinking, marketing, and project and talent management. [+]

Your career choices

As a suc­cess­ful prod­uct man­ager, your feet rest firmly on a solid foun­da­tion of busi­ness eco­nom­ics, mar­ket­ing and data analy­sis, while your eyes are fixed on the sky: dream­ing up valu­able, us­able and fea­si­ble vi­sions for new prod­ucts and soft­ware so­lu­tions. In order to suc­cess­fully de­sign and im­ple­ment a new prod­uct, prod­uct man­agers have to be pas­sion­ate about all as­pects of the prod­uct – from soft­ware en­gi­neer­ing and tech­ni­cal fea­tures, to front-end and in­ter­ac­tion de­sign. Flu­ent in coder-speak, prod­uct man­agers have their artsy de­signer vo­cab­u­lary at the ready and shine in board-room man­age­ment pre­sen­ta­tions.... [-]
