The Concept

An unrivaled concept

At 42, we believe in differentiation and inclusivity. The education model focuses on project-based learning and teamwork, rather than theoretical education. As we integrate the latest educational innovations, our goal is to empower the next leading generation of IT talent.

Our vision

To train you today for the jobs of tomorrow

Our students develop a unique mindset that makes them resourceful and adaptable in a world where technologies evolve rapidly and often unexpectedly. With 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 not yet invented, our students are self-driven to continue learning and adapting to meet the challenge.

Our values

Taking a stand for a better future

What is 42 ?

An ever-expanding global network

42 gives everyone a chance to receive excellent training in promising trades around the world. Since 2019, after the success of 42 in Paris and other locations, the ambition of 42 is to develop the largest global network of innovative tuition-free IT schools that are accessible to all. Each campus ties strong links with local ecosystems to offer students the 42 pedagogy everywhere, all the time.

Any question ?
