About
iXperience is a credit-bearing, study-abroad career accelerator program for university students based in Cape Town, Lisbon, Tel Aviv, and Berlin, in partnership with the University of Virginia. iXperience offers a 6-week iX learn and intern program, which combines blended learning courses with interning experiences taught by industry experts in full stack coding, data science, visual design, product management, management consulting, cloud computing, digital marketing, or investment finance. The program begins with a week of Global Studies, followed by two weeks of classroom learning, and finishing up with three weeks of work experience at a local company with support from teaching staff. Class sizes are limited to 25 students with help from hands-on teaching assistants to ensure that complex concepts are grasped. Outside of class, students can explore their host city, with planned excursions like food tours, surfing, diving, hiking, sailing, and cultural immersions. Modern accommodation is provided and located near vibrant restaurants, cafes and public transport.
During the internship portion of the course, students produce tangible work to showcase to future employers, boosting their resumes as a prospective employee. iXperience also assists students in helping them structure their CVs, online presence, and interviewing skills, so that they have an edge in an extremely competitive job market. Upon graduation, students join a large network of more than 1,400 alumni, dedicated to pursuing personal and professional growth. Many graduates now work for global big tech and finance companies.
Students are not required to have prior experience to apply, but must be current university students with a GPA of 2.75 or higher. To apply, applicants can either complete an online form and answer questions to tell iXperience about themselves or schedule a phone interview with an iXperience rep.
