You Don’t Fit In. That’s Your Superpower.

If you’ve ever felt like school wasn’t built for you, you’re not alone. Many of the world’s most successful innovators were once seen as outsiders. But here’s the truth: the tech world doesn’t just tolerate misfits. It thrives on them.

In tech, being different means you see what others don’t. You spot problems others ignore. You build solutions that nobody asked for—but everybody ends up needing. That’s not a weakness. That’s how innovation happens.

Why Tech Is Built for Misfits

Tech rewards skill, not status. Startups like Misfits Market, Thrive Market, and other disruptors weren’t founded by rule-followers. They were built by people who couldn’t find their place in traditional systems. So they built their own.

In a fast-moving world full of new technology, what matters is how fast you can learn and apply, not whether you fit some outdated mould. Many misfits entered the tech space because it’s one of the few places where being underestimated becomes an advantage.

Tech is open. It’s messy. It needs people who don’t colour inside the lines. People like you.

Proof Through Practice, Not Paper

At Amsterdam Tech, we don’t care about grades. We care about what you can build.

That’s why our degrees in Software Engineering, Data Science, and AI & Machine Learning Engineering are built around real-world projects. You learn by solving problems, writing code, and making things that work.

Our students don’t sit through lectures. They build portfolios. They ship working code. They get job-ready from day one.
