How the 12 weeks run

Four stages, one path.

This programme is the full path through four stages. The first three also stand alone — you take all of them in one run, with no entry test in the middle.

Stage 1 · 3 weeks26 Sep – 17 Oct

Build & deploy a web app to a 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 check so your web app is safe in production.

Stage 2 · Hackathon24–25 Oct

Build & deploy an AI product prototype in 24 hours

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

Stage 3 · 8 weeks31 Oct – 19 Dec

Learn AI & machine learning and ship a 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. Guided by an international Product Owner, presenting in English, because that is how the global AI industry runs.

What you leave with

When the programme ends, this is what you hold

01

Deployed projects

Not a half-finished repo. A link someone else can open the same day.

02

A professionally recorded demo day

Recorded at a quality you can send a recruiter, not a Zoom capture.

03

1-on-1 mentoring

Not only code review. Career direction, how you talk about your work, and what to fix.

04

Career review and mock interview

Interview practice with people who have sat on the other side of the table.

05

Internship connections

Introduced to real clients. Top graduates can continue into a paid internship with us.

After the code runs

Mentoring, career review, and internship connections

A working portfolio is half the story. The rest is how you talk about it, and who gets to see it.

  • 1-on-1 mentoring: career direction, how you talk about your work, and what to fix.
  • Career review and mock interviews with people who have sat on the other side of the table.
  • Introduced to real clients. Top graduates can earn a paid internship at Universa Academy.

FAQ

Before you apply.

If you want the complete Applied AI Engineering path, take the 12-week programme. It takes you from foundational skills like vibe coding and deployment all the way to advanced skills for building AI-powered system automation. If you only want to learn vibe coding, take the 3-week programme. If you already code and want to go deeper into AI/ML right away, take the 8-week one.

By December you have a portfolio, or you have a plan
