Applied AI Engineering Bootcamp

You will build.You will ship.You will lead.

Program

Level up with AI.

For people who want to build a career in AI. Twelve weeks, and every stage ends with something live that anyone can open. By the end, you are the one leading the build.

12 weeks

Hybrid: Self-paced on weekdays + onsite Saturdays in Yogyakarta

How it works

12 Weeks, 3 Stages.

01Stage 1: 3 weeks

Build & Deploy a Web App to Live URL with Vibe Coding

You have a live URL on day one, not in week four. You deploy again and again until it stops being an event, then close with a security review so the app is safe to put in front of real users.

02Stage 2: Hackathon

Build & Deploy Prototype of an AI Product in 24 Hours

Twenty-four hours to take an AI prototype live, in mixed teams alongside people from outside the bootcamp. Pressure like this is where it becomes clear who can actually lead.

03Stage 3: 8 weeks

Learn AI & Machine Learning and Ship Real-World AI Solution

Eight weeks at the core of the bootcamp: machine learning applied directly until your team ships an AI solution to a real problem. You work under an international Product Owner and present in English, because that is how the global AI industry runs.

Your global AI career starts here

Why Universa.

International environment

Instructors from Indonesia and abroad. A simulated global work environment, with an overseas Product Owner and presentations in English. Your work is judged at the level the world hires at.

Product knowledge

You learn to build and to sell. Positioning, pitching, and market testing are in the curriculum, taught while you are building the thing.

Hands-on: Build. Ship. Lead.

Deployments, not coursework. Every stage ends with a live product, not a report.

Growth mindset

Tools change every six months; the way you think stays with you for a career. Here you get used to fast feedback, and to treating "not done yet" as the normal state, not as failure.

Speed & intensity

The pace is fast on purpose. It mirrors how the AI industry runs right now: weekly releases, daily feedback, no "later".

Team

The people you will build with.
