The Bit Academy offers three programs for the Bachelor of Science Software Development: a full-time and part-time program in-person, and a full-time program online. Although the curriculum of the full-time program is equal in the online and in-person version, requirements of attendance are different.
The part-time program is designed to span 6 years and must be completed alongside a job in software development.
For the part-time program, you are required to attend one day per week (09:00 - 17:00), while the remaining 32 hours are spent working at your software development job.
As with any study at the Bit Academy, it is possible to study at your own pace, so you can finish the study in less than (or more than) 6 years.
The overview below outlines how the various courses are distributed over the 6-year period. The ‘weeks’ have to be multiplied by 2.
The full-time program is designed to span 4 years
For the full-time program, you are required to attend school 4 days per week, 6.5 hours per day.

The online full-time program mirrors the structure of the in-person program, spanning four years. Students are required to attend live online lectures twice a week, each lasting three hours in the evening. The specific days and times will be confirmed at a later date. In addition to the lectures, students are expected to dedicate approximately 34 hours per week to independent study, including assignments and project work.
A key feature of the online program is the inclusion of a dedicated support team, known as the Community Coaches. Working alongside the main lecturing staff, they offer personalized support to students seven days a week, from 09:00 to 17:00 CET.
