Your development

This program’s reputation precedes it. And that’s because we don’t waste any time in making you an IT expert. Over the 2-year duration, you’ll learn how to program applications, seek and solve the root of problems and have a suite of developer tools at your command. As you learn and gain skills, you'll get the chance to take on more responsibility.

At the end, get your career started with your "Computer Science Specialist" federal certificate of competence.

Gain new skills

You’ll jump right in. Our 8-month basic training starts with internal specialist courses and external training modules. All based on the modular system of ICT Vocational Education and Training Switzerland. We believe additional opportunities to grow should be open to everyone. Which can mean job shadowing, picking out carefully designed curricula for your specialty or deeper learning with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ University.

Get in on the action
