§ ProgrammesCohort 01 · November 2026

Six diplomas.
One standard of rigour.

From a seventeen-month senior diploma to a three-year flagship engineering track — every WIATech diploma is built around the same conviction: learn by shipping, defend what you build. Choose the path that fits your trajectory.

§ 01

Faculty build too.

Every instructor is an active engineer or researcher. Office hours feel like working sessions, not lectures.

§ 02

Small cohorts.

Every programme caps enrollment so faculty know every student. No anonymous lectures, no lost-in-the-crowd students.

§ 03

Real projects.

Every track ends with shipped work — a deployed application, a paper, a system in production, not a final exam.
