Introduction
Study at the adesso School of Coding and Software Engineering
A university degree in computer science is far too theoretical for you? You are planning to become a programmer, or rather a coder or software developer to transform bits & bytes into the digital innovations of tomorrow? Then a Bachelor’s degree at the adesso School of Coding and Software Engineering is exactly the right thing for you.
Are you wondering how companies develop and test new digital solutions? Which models, methods and tools are used? Which programming and markup languages are currently in demand? Do you want to know how a digital solution becomes a brand?
Are you curious to know where artificial intelligence (AI) is heading, what will be possible in the future? Are you asking yourself how apps are developed?
What exactly leads to intuitively operable apps that run on all systems and devices? iOS Developer, how does that sound? After all, you don’t just want to study theory, but develop and market your first own app right away!
Your Coding and Software Engineering degree at the adesso School of Coding and Software Engineering not only gives developers like you answers to your questions, but also provides you with the knowledge and skills you need to launch the next generation of new digital solutions.
Are you interested in a Bachelor degree with a future? Join us at the adesso School of Coding and Software Engineering and make code your alphabet – your second mother tongue.
A new time needs a new university
If digitisation and innovative technologies are changing our society, if the future of work depends on new digital skills and if whole sectors of the economy are in upheaval – shouldn’t our education system also change and provide answers?
We think so
The XU Exponential University near Berlin is Germany’s first university that focuses exclusively on digitization and technology. At Studio Five on the premises of Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam, we have created a place that focuses specifically on the training, promotion and networking of future heroes* of digital change. Our university in Potsdam is the perfect place for you!
XU Exponential University Potsdam
Study in a place where revolutionary ideas become innovations.
Every innovation is based on a groundbreaking idea. But an idea is only really good if it is implemented. This is exactly what our university near Berlin is all about: developing new ideas for the innovations of tomorrow. Ideas that we want to set in motion together with you.
Learning through interaction
Frontal teaching is deprecated: We rely on interactive experiences and flexible learning settings in small groups – even outside the lecture hall. Studying at XU in Potsdam means practical project work, experimenting, and prototyping.

We are officially recognized
The XU Exponential University of Applied Sciences was officially recognized by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Culture of the state of Brandenburg in 2018. The accreditation was carried out by the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (ZEvA), which confirmed the development of sustainable and innovative study programmes to the university as part of the accreditation process.
How you can benefit from our innovative, digital teaching offers
Whether communication, production, trade or the world of work: the digital transformation has arrived almost everywhere. Only the universities and colleges follow this development only hesitantly. There is still little awareness of digital change, the need for lifelong learning and digital literacy. The consequence of this unwillingness to change and the lack of technical resources is a teaching offer that is no longer up to date.
We do things differently.
As a university for digitisation, we see it as our task to reinvent ourselves again and again. We not only offer you an apprenticeship with a fixed degree – we also prepare you in the best possible way for the various challenges in technology, business and research. At the XU Exponential University near Berlin, you get access to global knowledge and the chance to further your education – interactively and practically.

Let’s go – your first semesters
In your first semesters of study, you will deal in detail with the most important programming and markup languages. These include HTML, CSS, Java, Java Script and Switft. You will learn methods and techniques of agile software project management and how to plan and implement coding and software engineering projects.
Deep involvement means for you: in practice. You take part in a Coding Bootcamp in the first semester of your studies and write code. The title of the module is program: Code Red – Coding in Action.
After three semesters, you will already have the core coding skills and can refer to yourself as a . Junior Developer Whether a Junior Web Developer or a Junior App Developer – your expertise is already in demand on the market.
Digital communication and innovation management are another focus of your first semester, You will learn how to effectively and efficiently use modern methods of digital communication and collaboration. You will work with innovation methods and techniques, including agile development, prototyping and rapid prototyping. You will develop and test the latest digital methods and techniques in a playful way and acquire a high level of digital competence.
At the adesso School of Coding and Software Engineering we believe that the best way to learn is to try and do it yourself. Thus, individual projects, group work and interactive teaching are high on the curriculum. With adesso SE as our partner we always work on the most current and relevant topics and technologies.
As full-time student at the adesso School of Coding and Software Engineering, you will study at one of our international partner universities in the fourth semester. You have the choice at which of our partner universities you would like to spend your semester abroad.
Final spurt – your last semesters
You will deepen your acquired digital skills and will select at least two elective subjects. If you want to know more, you may also choose other subjects.
