    Want to know what others wrote about us?

    CODE is a diverse and inclusive community. Individuals from all over the world learn and grow together in an environment of mutual respect, curiosity, and support. The attack on Ukraine and the ongoing war is a tragedy beyond imagination. As a university, we condemn any form of violence and warfare. In a war, there are no winners. Regardless of nationality, we want to extend a hand and offer all the support we can to those in need. Let’s hope that this violent attack will soon stop and that the parties involved will return to fighting with words instead of weapons.
