2005
“One day I wanted to build the university that I couldn’t find for myself.”
Back in 2005, when our founder Thomas “Tom” Bachem – self-taught software engineer and designer – was looking for a place to study and learn, he was disappointed to see that the academic landscape primarily focused on the never-changing basic principles of Computer Science, instead of the exciting new possibilities of the internet and its opportunities. That’s when the idea for CODE was born: One day he wanted to found a university that would be to Computer Science what business schools are to classic Economics programs.
