BOOSTING THE EMPLOYABILITY OF YOUR STUDENTS
Code First Girls works with global universities to break down barriers and provide free opportunities for women students to learn how to code and enter the tech workforce.
With less than 1.7% of women pursuing computer science in further education, we offer university students the opportunity to learn to code, regardless of their primary area of study. When it comes to achieving merit and distinctions in our courses, both non-STEM and STEM graduates perform on par, proving that women can thrive in technology, regardless of their educational background.
