A whole lot of fun.

App development goes beyond just writing code. It requires creativity, research, and design thinking to create an app that makes a difference.

This 180-hour course is divided into 3 exciting challenges. Each challenge is your chance to put your newly acquired skills into action, working alongside fellow students to dream up, design, build, and present your own app.

Applying for Swift Accelerator

Application Process

Part 1

Application Form

The form will take about an hour to complete.

The form contains several questions to gauge your suitability for the programme. These questions include:

  1. Coding and Logic: 4 questions

  2. Design: 2 questions

  3. Written: 2 essay questions

Please attempt these questions in examination conditions. Do not discuss the questions, look up, or share the answers.

We ask that you avoid using AI tools in your application. The purpose of the essays and questions is to understand if you would be a right fit for the programme.

Part 2

Evaluation Activity

After reviewing your application, selected applicants will be asked to join us for an evaluation activity.

You will be notified by 5 March if we require you to join us for the evaluation activity.

This 45-minute activity will be conducted virtually, on Zoom, from 6 March to 9 March and is intended to help us better understand you and how you work.

Do note that an invitation to the evaluation activity is not an indication of acceptance to the programme. Application results will release on 10 March by the end of the day.
