How do the weekly 15 campus hours work? Are there fixed lesson times?
Our program follows a peer learning methodology, which means there are no traditional live lessons with a fixed schedule. Students are required to spend at least 15 hours per week on campus to collaborate and learn together with others. However, there are Peer Learning Days (PLDs) that usually take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays, either in the morning or afternoon, and each session lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours. The rest of the time can be managed more flexibly, and our platform supports a hybrid learning model, allowing students to balance their studies with other commitments.
Do you live outside of Baku or abroad?
Yes! Holberton School Azerbaijan offers an online exam option for applicants who live outside of Baku or in other countries. If you are unable to attend the on-site exam, you can take it online instead. To register for the online admission and choose your exam date, please visit: https://holbertonschool.az/admission/online
