Harbour.Space University

What Harbour.Space University does

Harbour.Space University is a privately held Institute of Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Design founded in Barcelona in September 2016. It operates dual campuses in Barcelona, Spain and Bangkok, Thailand (the latter through a partnership with the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce) and delivers technology, business, and design programmes at Foundation, Bachelor, Master, and Single Course levels. Its curriculum comprises more than ten degree programmes spanning Computer Science, Data Science, Cyber Security, Front-end Development, Product Management, Digital Transformation, International Business, High-tech Entrepreneurship, Interaction Design, Digital Marketing, and Applied Data and Computer Science, plus a 9-month Foundation pathway. Courses are organized into 3-week intensive modules taught by industry practitioners, and certain Master's programmes offer double-degree credentials with the University of Vic (UVic) in Spain and UTCC in Thailand.

The institution runs on a modern web-based learning platform positioned as Web 3.0 aligned, with omni-platform delivery across its two campuses. Its instructional model is the core technical and pedagogical asset: rolling admissions in Barcelona every three weeks, fixed start dates in Bangkok, and an Open University option that allows individual 3-week courses to be taken for credit transferable into full degree programmes. Faculty are drawn from founders and executives at 20+ tech unicorns, and the institution markets its 95% employability rate and 1st-in-Europe ICPC Gold Medallists ranking as proof points.

The revenue model is a direct-to-consumer tuition engine. Pricing is publicly disclosed: €22,900 per year for the Master in Product Management, €9,990 per year for the Applied Master (2-year work-and-study format), €9,450 for the 9-month Foundation Programme, €1,500 per single 3-week course for international students and €750 for Spanish/Thai residents, with a non-refundable €125 application fee. Marketing is content-led through blog, email, social, and earned media, and the institution serves four primary student personas: tech-oriented students, aspiring entrepreneurs, design-focused individuals, and young professionals aged 16+ entering via the Foundation programme.
