About
iXperience is an accredited 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 Accelerate course and a 10-week iX Immerse course which combine blended learning courses with interning experiences taught by industry experts in Full Stack Coding, Data Science, Digital Design, Blockchain for Business, Product Management, Virtual Reality, Management Consulting, or Investment Finance. The 10-week iX Immerse program includes 4 weeks of learning about the local history and culture, followed by a 6-week career-focused course and internship which includes intensive classwork and practical work experience. The 6-week iX Accelerate program includes a 2-week intense technology bootcamp, followed by 4-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. Past partners have included Uber, Accenture, Deloitte, and Barclays. 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 1000 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 fill out an online form and answer essay questions to tell iXperience about themselves, then choose their subjects for the course and internship. In some cases, iXperience will conduct phone interviews with students.

The blockchain is "broadly applicable, highly disruptive", and could shape our future as much as AI or the Internet. We'll prep you to harness the potential of the underlying technology. You might have a friend who's made a quick buck off of Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency—you might have even done it yourself. While there might be a lot of hype around Bitcoin, the potential for the blockchain and its applications goes far beyond trading. This course will teach you to cut through the noise and understand the underlying technology. You'll learn not only how to trade coins in a savvy way, but about the economics, markets, principles, business models, use cases and technologies in Blockchain and cryptocurrencies!Financing
