Curriculum
YEAR 1
In the first year, students obtain the foundational knowledge in mathematics and the basics of programming upon which students will develop an understanding of programming and computer science during the following years. The courses are mostly given in a form of lectures and takeaway coursework. By the end of this year, students will be able to write programmes and use primary computer science tools.
Modules
- Combinatorics and Graphs
- Foundations of Programming: C/C++
- Calculus – 1
- Practical Unix
- Linear Algebra - 1
- Algorithms and Data Structures – 1
- Combinatorics and Graphs – 2
- Object-Oriented Programming: Python
- Calculus – 2
- Algorithms and Data Structures – 2
- Linear Algebra – 2
- Computer Organisation and Systems
- Combinatorics and Graphs – 3
- Operating Systems
- Calculus – 3
YEAR 2
In the second year, the students will be offered both math courses in the field of discrete mathematics and courses in the field of software development and programming languages. Most courses require practical coursework and a course project enabling students to get a feel for the challenges and approaches used in this field. By the end of this year, students will be able to write programmes and use primary computer science tools.
Modules
- Introduction to Probability
- Introduction to Statistics
- Java Programming
- Foundations of Mathematical Logic
- Functional Programming
- Introduction to Optimization
- Machine Learning – 1
- Formal Language Theory
- Compilers
- Introduction to Computer Networking
- Database Systems Principles
- Computational Complexity Theory

- Web Applications
YEAR 3
In the third year, students will primarily focus on key computer science subjects including computational theory and cryptography. The practical side of the programme is focused on an in-depth understanding of parallel computing, databases, and compilers. At the end of the third year, students will have sufficient theoretical and programming background to tackle computer science problems in professional real-world scenarios. The courses are taught by researchers and professionals who practice the courses they teach either academically or by sharing their professional experiences in their field. The goal of the final year is to expose students to a range of real-world applications of the material that they've learned to ensure a seamless transition into a professional role.

MATH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (MSL)
At Harbour.Space, a major requirement for all students in technical degrees to have advanced mathematics skills. Anyone who lacks a strong math foundation but is eager to start their future in a technical discipline should apply for our maths foundation course, Math as a Second Language (MSL). MSL is an intensive, full–time, one-year preparatory programme for students without an academic background in STEM. It equips students with the necessary knowledge and fundamentals in math, physics, and computer science to pursue secondary education in STEM at the world’s most prestigious universities. After graduating from the MSL programme, students are automatically eligible to continue in a programme of their choice at Harbour.Space University.

ICPC Gold Medalists and Europe Champions
Harbour.Space University left behind not only Stanford but giants like MIT, Cambridge or Oxford. The International Collegiate Programming Contest, or ICPC, the top rendez-vous for coders, awarded this Barcelona centre a place of privilege among the main tech universities of the world. In an exciting last-minute catch-up, the revelation team of the competition in Luxor secured one of the gold medals (awarded to the 4 first positions), thus becoming also the front performer in Europe and the Western world.
