ThoughtWorks University (TWU) is our immersive entry-level program designed to prepare you for life as a ThoughtWorker. You'll spend five weeks in India or China with a global network of peers learning how to build working software from day one.
After completing TWU, you'll return home with hands-on experience, ready to tackle the most ambitious challenges for our clients. And the best part? You will have made lifelong friendships with ThoughtWorkers from around the world.
Developer Consultants work onsite with our clients to ensure we are evolving their technology and empowering adaptive mindsets to meet their business goals.
Business Analysts are the bridge between clients and developers, determining what outcomes software must achieve, how it should be used and then generating bold ideas to create custom applications.
Quality Assurance Analysts break things (a lot) in order to ensure that issues are documented and errors are rectified to make sure our solutions are in tip-top condition for our clients.
Experience Designers leverage both the left and right brain in order to assess how humans interact with technology and create a more useful and compelling design for end-users.
That’s okay! A lot of our consultants join without prior consulting experience. TWU will prepare you for working with clients from both a technical and business perspective.
We consider candidates from all academic backgrounds. If you're applying to be a Software Developer, we'd expect you to have working knowledge of at least one object-oriented programming language.
We believe TWU as an incredible investment into our people and the future of ThoughtWorks. Because of this, it is part of your onboarding and training, so the program—and its affiliated travel—is 100% covered by ThoughtWorks.
TWU is much more than learning how to code: it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be with people from all across the globe, learn about different cultures and understand how ThoughtWorks operates as a business. Perhaps most importantly, you will learn how to be a great consultant from experienced ThoughtWorkers.
If you are applying for a Software Developer role, then we expect you to have working knowledge of at least one object-oriented programming language.

Yes! We consider candidates from all academic backgrounds.
If you are not an Indian or Chinese national, an appropriate visa will be required to attend TWU. The ThoughtWorks immigration team will support you through this process should you be invited to join the program.
That's a great question! We partner with clients from a variety of industries, so the work ThoughtWorkers do varies from client to client. Visit our Clients page to learn more about what we've accomplished.
