universities but doesn’t know which field she should pick. Her parents
think that a career in science would help channel her inquisitive mind.

To be part of google,
Facebook, a big bank or

Students are superstars
Harbour.Space exists for one purpose only: to help young
individuals pursue knowledge, so they can progress into
fulfilling and meaningful professional futures.
vWe offer the fundamental knowledge, skills and guidance
that give students the chance to make anything happen. Our
students are not cogs in a machine. We celebrate our human
approach by cultivating team work, interdiscipinarity,
empathy and curiosity.
University reinvented
We’re busy building the future, while most of academia
teaches the past, Harbour.Space is made by entrepreneurs,
for entrepreneurs. We are design-led, web 3.0
omni-platform and globally interconnected.
We are the makers and pioneers in our fields. We don’t care
about titles and we don’t do red tape: we hire teachers
based on experience and expertise, just like in the real
world. We are the most relevant university of our age.

OUR CORE VALUES

Harbour.SpaceUniversitycreatedon19.07.17
Time ≠ Money
Youth is not for sale. That’s why we teach highly relevant and
real-world responsive courses that give students a head-start
even before graduation.
Our programme leaders continuously scrutinise the curriculum
to ensure students focus on realtime useful subjects. We
teach 3-week intensive courses throughout the year, offering
more learning in less time, on flexible and adaptable schedules.
Tech <3 design
Great ideas and their realisation never come from
specialists: they come from all-round visionaries. But
presently, technology and design are in an arranged
marriage: they are together because it’s what’s expected.
We are cultivating a love marriage between the two, and we
are the only university in Europe to do so. We’re doing this
because the two naturally depend on one another, but
experience a great lack of understanding. Interdisciplinarity
is our love potion – expect sparks.

No compromises
If you get a place at Harbour.Space that means you get the
best education. The programmes are tough and our students
must work hard. We don’t sell quick-fix coding or data science
courses, because they don’t exist.
Only with very solid foundational knowledge of universal core
concepts in science can students grow to move forward
indefinitely, no matter how much the world around us changes.
