What the 12 weeks look like
Full-time is the course most of our graduates take. It asks a lot: about forty hours a week for twelve weeks, most of it in the room with your cohort, pair-programming on the same problem as the person next to you. In exchange you go from a blank file to a deployed full-stack application in under three months.
Each week has the same rhythm. Monday morning is a short talk and a live build; the rest of the week is pair work on that week’s project, with two mentors walking the room. Friday afternoon is code review: every pair shows what they built and the cohort asks questions. You will be nervous the first time and bored of it by week four, which is the point.
The last three weeks belong to a real client. Your team of four builds a product for a Southampton charity or small business, ships it, and hands it over. That project is the one employers ask about, because it has users, a deadline and trade-offs you had to make.
Career support starts in week ten, not after demo day. You will have a CV, a portfolio and two mock interviews behind you before you graduate.
