It is a full-time study that requires about 40 hours a week to complete and is a 1-3 years program (1 year for the Core Programme and 2 years for Specialisation).<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Are the courses online?","answer":"<p>No. 42 Penang is a physical coding\/programming school and we believe that the best way of learning is in our campus. Considering the current pandemic, we will be ensuring a safe environment with all physical distancing measures in effect.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Does the school organise any activities?","answer":"<p>Yes, a lot! 42 Penang will invite guest speakers and organise hackathons on a regular basis so you can get in touch with many like-minded people and industry professionals from a wide range of a lot of backgrounds and disciplines. We want our speakers not just to have a\u00a0 presentation but to also create a bond with students of 42 Penang. In terms of social activities, there are many bonding sessions facilitated by 42 Penang, but students are also highly encouraged to organise their own activities and build our community.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Can I stop the course halfway? Can I then come back?","answer":"<p>Though we would not recommend doing it, you can stop at any time. Keep in mind that 42 Penang&#8217;s course is full-time and requires commitment. But sometimes life gets in the way and instead of leaving the course, get in touch with the educational staff to review your situation. If pausing your course is right for you, it is possible. You will then be welcome to resume from where you were when you come back.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Can I get a VISA to study at 42 Penang?","answer":"<p>If you want to join 42 Penang you need to be able to stay in the Malaysia legally for at least 365 consecutive days. If you cannot meet this criterion, we will have to deny your application. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with a student visa.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"No tuition fees? How does that work?","answer":"<p>It is our nation building initiative to give individuals equal opportunity to maximise their talents. We believe that everyone deserves a fair chance to follow their dreams, regardless of background and resources. It is for this reason that 42 Penang provides free education. You will not be charged during or after your studies at 42 Penang.<\/p>\n<p>So where does the money come from? 42 Penang is made possible, thanks to the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, Sunway Education Group, Sunway iLabs and MDEC. Together with our Anchor Partners, we are able to provide this opportunity to all Malaysians above 17 years old.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Are there other costs I should take into account?","answer":"<p>42 Penang is completely tuition-fee free. However, during your studies here you will have to make your own living i.e. accommodation, food, other expenses. Don&#8217;t worry! With a simple Google search, you may find plenty of accommodation options around the area as well as a variety of F&amp;B outlets suitable for all.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Are there more schools like 42 Penang?","answer":"<p>Yes! Following the success of the first school 42 in Paris, which was elected &#8216;Best coding school of 2017&#8217;, sister schools have been set up in Brussels (Le 19), Tokyo (42 Tokyo), Amsterdam (Codam), Adelaide (42 Adelaide), Helsinki (Hive), Madrid (42), Sao Paolo (42) and many more. There are currently 54 campuses across 31 countries.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Is there a possibility to go and study in one of the sister schools?","answer":"<p>Of course! Like 42 Penang, our sister schools are tuition-free and use the same curriculum. However, students need to begin the curriculum on the same campus where they did their Piscine (selection process). For example, if you undertake the Piscine at 42 Penang, you can only continue the Core Programme at 42 Penang. If you have undertaken a Piscine in another 42 school and wish to join 42 Penang, you are required to take the online test and Piscine at 42 Penang again to be able to join the 42 Penang Core Programme. Nonetheless, it is possible to transfer between campuses when students continue with their Specialisation after graduating from the Core Programme.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"I am currently under full-time employment\/tertiary studies. Can I undertake the 42 Penang programme part-time? Can I still work\/study while undertaking the 42 Penang programme?","answer":"<p>It is not impossible. However, we would advise against it as it can be quite difficult and overwhelming for you. In order to succeed in 42 Penang, you will have to spend a large part of your time at the school (during the Piscine more than sixty hours per week, and after that, an average of forty hours per week to progress in the Core Programme at a good pace). Some of our working students have taken a combination of annual\/study leaves to undertake the Piscine, and some have joined the Piscine when they have more free time i.e. semester break. Ultimately, it is down to you to manage your time well and take charge of your own learning.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Do I need to get a laptop for the Piscine and for the studies?","answer":"<p>You do not need a laptop during the Piscine. The school is equipped with 150 Dell computers which are more than enough to serve all students. During the studies, it is okay to use your own laptop, but it is not required and you&#8217;ll need to submit your work on the school&#8217;s desktop computers.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What if I still have some questions and would like to speak to someone?","answer":"<p>Feel free to contact us via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/42penang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/42penang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, or email: <a href=\"mailto:community@42penang.edu.my\">community@42penang.edu.my<\/a> and we will endeavour to assist you within 24 hours.<\/p>\n"}]}],"image":{"ID":128,"id":128,"title":"infrastructure","filename":"infrastructure.svg","filesize":3279,"url":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","link":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/bm\/faq\/infrastructure\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"infrastructure","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":75,"date":"2021-10-28 13:08:06","modified":"2021-11-10 07:36:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/svg+xml","type":"image","subtype":"svg+xml","icon":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","thumbnail-width":1,"thumbnail-height":1,"medium":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","medium-width":1,"medium-height":1,"medium_large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","medium_large-width":1,"medium_large-height":1,"large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","large-width":1,"large-height":1,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","1536x1536-width":1,"1536x1536-height":1,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","2048x2048-width":1,"2048x2048-height":1,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/infrastructure.svg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":1,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":1}}},{"title":"Admission Process","content":[{"title":"Admission Process","accordion":[{"question":"How does the application process work?","answer":"<p>The application starts with the online test at <a href=\"https:\/\/apply.42penang.edu.my\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apply.42penang.edu.my.<\/a> The test is available and can be done at any point in time. It takes 2 hours and 10 minutes and must be completed in one sitting, so do ensure that you allocate sufficient time for it. After passing the test, the next step is to watch an introductory video that will be sent to your email. You must complete watching the video, it is then possible to sign up for the final step: The Piscine.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"When is the next Piscine?","answer":"<p>The dates for the Piscines will be made available through the <a href=\"https:\/\/apply.42penang.edu.my\/\">apply.42penang.edu.my<\/a> page and our social media channels. If there are no Piscine dates available, then more will be announced soon. Do follow us on social media and look out for our emails (remember to also check your spam\/junk folders, and save us as a favourite contact). Stay tuned!<\/p>\n"},{"question":"When does the curriculum\/Core Programme start?","answer":"<p>After passing the Piscine, it is possible to join (kick-off) the curriculum\/Core Programme on one of the starting dates in the same year; usually around April and September\/October. The exact start date will be made available through the <a href=\"https:\/\/apply.42penang.edu.my\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apply.42penang.edu.my<\/a> page, your registered emails and our social media channels.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"When does the application period end?","answer":"<p>Our online application will stay open, always. After registering and taking the online test, your online test scores will be saved for one year and you can choose which Piscine you want to sign up for within one year.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What are the requirements to apply?","answer":"<p>Instead of having a certain background, education or degree, we expect applicants to be visionaries who are motivated and committed to the study program. Having said that, we request that applicants are at least 17 by the time they start in the selection Piscine.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What type of skills do I need to be successful?","answer":"<p>You need logical thinking skills and a problem-solving attitude. You need to be able to adapt and overcome difficulties, be proactive, curious, creative, thorough, and be able to collaborate.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Do I have to know the basics of coding before I apply?","answer":"<p>Not at all! From the first year batch that started at 42KL in 2021, 34% had no experience in coding and 46% only knew basic coding prior to applying to 42KL. There\u2019s no evidence those who have coding background do significantly better at the selection Piscine than those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"I am already a coder, why should I apply?","answer":"<p>42 Penang offers a programme with a world class curriculum that challenges students with projects of increased complexity. Every problem is unique and requires you to think out of the box, with other talented and motivated peers. Everyone, coder or not, can find a rewarding path within 42 Penang.<\/p>\n"}]}],"image":{"ID":123,"id":123,"title":"espaces-larges","filename":"espaces-larges.svg","filesize":1229,"url":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","link":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/bm\/faq\/espaces-larges\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"espaces-larges","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":75,"date":"2021-10-28 13:08:05","modified":"2021-10-28 13:14:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/svg+xml","type":"image","subtype":"svg+xml","icon":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","thumbnail-width":1,"thumbnail-height":1,"medium":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","medium-width":1,"medium-height":1,"medium_large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","medium_large-width":1,"medium_large-height":1,"large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","large-width":1,"large-height":1,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","1536x1536-width":1,"1536x1536-height":1,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","2048x2048-width":1,"2048x2048-height":1,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/espaces-larges.svg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":1,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":1}}},{"title":"The Curriculum","content":[{"title":"The Curriculum","accordion":[{"question":"Why are there no teachers?","answer":"<p>42 Penang is a school based on peer-to-peer learning, in which students learn and discover by themselves and with peers. The environment forces you to learn how to learn which to us is one of the most important skill to develop. There is, however, a pedagogical team that makes sure the learning environment works and that students are progressing.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What does \"peer-to-peer\" learning mean?","answer":"<p>Peer-to-peer learning is an education model where students learn from each other instead of learning from an appointed teacher. It emphasises critical thinking, teamwork and communication. Students also evaluate each other and learn from explaining to peers.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What does \"project-based learning\" mean?","answer":"<p>In project-based learning, students gain a deeper knowledge of a subject through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. They learn by doing and thinking critically, rather than by following instructions and memorising.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Who assesses the quality of projects if there are no teachers?","answer":"<p>Projects will be assessed by a student\u2019s peers using a grading sheet and general guidelines provided by the educational staff. Students must be able to explain their code to the evaluator in such a way that the evaluator understands, even if they have no prior knowledge going into the evaluation. A student\u2019s grade will be determined by how well their code works and how well they can explain it. If you can\u2019t explain it, you don\u2019t understand it well enough. &#8211; Albert Einstein.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What does the curriculum include?","answer":"<p>You start building a base in the C programming language and fundamental programming concepts. As you progress towards your industry placement, you can explore introductory branches in UNIX, graphics and web programming. After that, the curriculum will include deeper projects in many fields of computer science: Object Oriented programming, Mobile programming, Functional programming, Web security, Reverse engineering, Malicious Code, Kernel programming, Network programming, Artificial intelligence, 3D programming, and many other areas of programming and IT.\u00a0You will also be learning and utilising the git system throughout the programme even from Day 1 of the Piscine.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Why do you start with C language in 42 Penang?","answer":"<p>During their basic studies at 42 Penang students learn the fundamentals of coding. C language provides an effective base for this. Through learning the language in their basic studies students get an understanding of how to think like a coder. C as a language also demands the coder to be independent and to understand how the code works on a fundamental level. After learning the ins and outs of C, students will understand what lies beneath any coding concept and how they really work.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"How is the curriculum structured?","answer":"<p>42 Penang shares the proven curriculum of Ecole 42 in Paris. There are more than a hundred projects laid out as a tree. When you complete a project, you move to the next one, until you can choose from different paths and discover multiple aspects of programming and IT. Each student&#8217;s experience is unique, as they experiment with projects and choose to follow different specialisation paths in the extended curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, at 42 Penang we work with our Anchor Partners to come up with localised challenges and projects for students to take up throughout the programme.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"How is the curriculum gamified?","answer":"<p>You progress in the curriculum by completing projects and getting points. With these points you level up and unlock more projects and specialization branches. You can also master different skills, complete quests and achievements. Students can compare their levels to know how far they are in the curriculum.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"How do you keep the curriculum current?","answer":"<p>The original curriculum was created in 2013 by Ecole 42\u2019s team, which consists of veterans in the computer science educational field in France. It has evolved since then through the contribution of educational staff in Paris and other schools around the world, co-operation with companies and even students.<\/p>\n<p>Every quarter of the year, the pedagogical committee consisting of educational staff from all 42 campuses get together to discuss and execute updates to the curriculum based on current industry trends.<\/p>\n"}]}],"image":{"ID":142,"id":142,"title":"teacher","filename":"teacher.svg","filesize":4082,"url":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","link":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/bm\/home-page\/teacher\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"Used in About Us","caption":"","name":"teacher","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":52,"date":"2021-10-28 13:08:09","modified":"2021-11-01 12:47:42","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/svg+xml","type":"image","subtype":"svg+xml","icon":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","thumbnail-width":1,"thumbnail-height":1,"medium":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","medium-width":1,"medium-height":1,"medium_large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","medium_large-width":1,"medium_large-height":1,"large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","large-width":1,"large-height":1,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","1536x1536-width":1,"1536x1536-height":1,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","2048x2048-width":1,"2048x2048-height":1,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":1,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":1}}},{"title":"The Piscine","content":[{"title":"The Piscine","accordion":[{"question":"What is the Piscine?","answer":"<p>The Selection Piscine, or just Piscine, is a four week long trial period.

Can they try again?","answer":"<p>The Piscine is designed in a way that both the candidate and 42 Penang can validate if this educational model is the right fit. If a candidate is not accepted into 42 Penang after the Piscine, we advise them to try a different learning program. This is not the only way to learn to code!<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, you are still allowed to try out the Piscine again one year after the first trial. You can make a maximum of two attempts in your lifetime.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What if I want to quit the Piscine in the middle?","answer":"<p>That is totally okay! Applicants are free to leave the admissions process at any point. You can just walk out, with no strings attached. Although the educational staff would really appreciate learning the reasons why. Who knows, maybe talking it through with someone can change your mind!<\/p>\n"},{"question":"If I pass the Piscine, do I need to enroll in 42 Penang in the same year?","answer":"<p>Yes. The beginning of your Core Programme studies is a continuation of the Piscine, so it is much better for you not to interrupt the learning process. Nonetheless, if you know you might not be able to enroll in the school right after the Piscine, it would be fair to leave the spot from someone who is eager to start, and join a later kick-off date.<\/p>\n<p>You can always discuss this with the 42 Penang staff members for other arrangements.<\/p>\n"}]}],"image":{"ID":137,"id":137,"title":"piscine","filename":"piscine.svg","filesize":3765,"url":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","link":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/bm\/how-to-apply\/piscine\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"piscine","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":47,"date":"2021-10-28 13:08:08","modified":"2021-11-05 06:59:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/svg+xml","type":"image","subtype":"svg+xml","icon":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","thumbnail-width":1,"thumbnail-height":1,"medium":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","medium-width":1,"medium-height":1,"medium_large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","medium_large-width":1,"medium_large-height":1,"large":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","large-width":1,"large-height":1,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","1536x1536-width":1,"1536x1536-height":1,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","2048x2048-width":1,"2048x2048-height":1,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/42penang.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":1,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":1}}},{"title":"Job Prospects","content":[{"title":"Job Prospects","accordion":[{"question":"Do I receive an official degree when I finish?","answer":"<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">At 42 Penang, you won\u2019t receive a traditional accredited degree, as this learning model is still new in Malaysia and doesn\u2019t fit conventional academic structures.
