Dr. Reimar Müller-Thum takes the lead of CODE

July 5 2023: Have you met our new executive director and chancellor, Dr. Reimar Müller-Thum? His extensive experience in education and technology promises to take CODE to new heights. With his background as CEO of Macromedia University of Applied Sciences and Macromedia Academy as well as Galileo Global Education Germany, he will help establish CODE as a leading institution for technology-oriented education.
Reimar Müller-Thum will focus his efforts on further developing CODE’s strategic direction while driving the institution’s growth into new dimensions. Reimar Müller-Thum on his new position: “For me, CODE is one of the most innovative educational initiatives of the last decade and an absolute diamond in the rough. I am excited about what the founding team has built and look forward to contributing my experience to ensure CODE reaches its full potential.”

New president at CODE

March 1 2023: Current Vice President Prof. Dr. Peter Ruppel was unanimously elected by the Academic Senate as the new President of CODE, with a four-year term. He thus succeeds Manuel Dolderer, who continues in a leadership role on the team.
Khurram Masood, co-founder of African Leadership University, will serve as chair of the university’s economic advisory board.
The focus of the new presidency is on the university’s internationality and global orientation, as well as on self-directed and project-based learning. In interaction of Prof. Dr. Peter Ruppel’s many years of experience and the expertise of education entrepreneur and strategic consultant Khurram Masood, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN are to be achieved. “In order to not only react to future challenges, but to actively shape the future themselves, the digital pioneers of tomorrow need not only technical skills, but also a variety of other skills, such as social and communication skills, the willingness to self-reflect and resilience,” says Peter Ruppel about the importance of holistic education for CODE students.

We celebrate 5 years anniversary

December 14 2022: We celebrate a significant milestone: 5 years of CODE! Our university was founded in 2017 with the goal of educating the digital pioneers of tomorrow. Five years later, we can see that it has lived up to this: One in ten students is founding his or her own company. So far, CODE has produced over 55 start-ups, which have created a total of more than 300 jobs. The success stories of the companies are diverse: from FinTechs like tokenstreet to PropTechs like Mietz, to the digital crafts office handly. And new ones are being added regularly.

University Council newly elected

November 17 2021: Entrepreneurs and founders Verena Pausder and Dr. Diana Knodel have been elected for the second time as part of the university council for the next four years. CODE welcomes Prof. Dr. Stephan Stubner, Rector of the Leipzig Graduate School of Management and founder of “Trivago”, as a new member of the board. CODE co-founder Manuel Dolderer was elected president by the university’s senate for another four years. In 2017, more than 600 students from over 80 countries began studying software engineering, interaction design and product management at the university, and so far CODE has recorded more than 30 spin-offs.

The CODE wins three software entrepreneurs as supporters

January 13 2022: Stephan Schambach, e-commerce pioneer and founder of Intershop, Demandware and NewStore, supports CODE with an investment worth millions. In addition to him, Dirk Graber (CEO of Mr. Spex) as well as Valentin von Albrecht and Hendrik Hofstadt are participating. The two are students at CODE and sold their startup this year. They invested in CODE through the family office Bool Capital, founded with their third co-founder Leopold Schabel. Like 25 other entrepreneurs in the digital industry, the new investors are convinced of the high value of hands-on training and are keen to support it. The numerous partner companies – including Facebook, Porsche, T-Labs (Telekom) and MetroDigital – serve as a link to the corporate world and provide support with their own topics and practical experience.

New professorship announcement

April 28 2021: After successfully passing all the procedures needed to become a professor, Florencia Noriega and Fabian Geier were officially appointed as professors. Congratulations!

I’m happy to work and be part of the lively, lovely, crazy CODE community.” says Florencia, Professor in Software Engineering, about the appointment. Fabian, Head of STS, says: “It’s funny that the most visible changes in public status so seldomly correlate with actual personal accomplishments. But I promise to make good use of this honour and intimidate people with it whenever possible.”

An excellent opportunity for all four different generations of CODE students to network around projects and celebrate the end of the semester!

Key learnings from the remote orientation semester

December 21 2020: It’s no secret that the first semester at every university is usually the most exciting and challenging.

With the new circumstances, we had to reinvent our Demo Day ideas and transfer them into the virtual space. During the Demo Day, our students showed what they have been working on and learning during the semester. Demo Day was also a perfect and opportunity for family, friends, and partners to experience firsthand the diversity of our CODE community. And the result was just great!
