Harbour.Space was established in 2015, born from a shared vision of redefining higher education. Founded by Svetlana Velikanova, a visionary entrepreneur; Kamran Elahian, a serial entrepreneur known for founding multiple unicorns; and Ingo Beyer von Morgenstern, a distinguished former director at McKinsey & Co., the university opened its first campus in the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain. 

Harbour.Space is a university for the innovative, the future-minded, and the change-hungry. Our philosophy rests on three core pillars: a strong industry connection, a modern and agile educational model, and a network of exceptional innovators and entrepreneurs ready to co-create the businesses of tomorrow.

We offer cutting-edge Foundation, Bachelor’s, and Master’s programmes where real-world challenges take precedence over textbook exercises. Our academic year is structured into 15 intense 3-week modules, serving as an accelerator for entrepreneurs, an innovation lab for creatives, and a hands-on learning environment for tech enthusiasts.

The fast-paced growth in innovation, communication, and technology is forcing a quiet revolution in education, leaving many traditional universities struggling to keep up.

We aim to redefine the learning experience by offering active experience-based education, driven by some of the world’s top industry leaders. Our transformative learning approach enhances reflective, critical, and systems thinking and encourages collaborative innovation.

Harbour.Space is more than a university - it’s a community, an incubator, and a bridge between students and the professional industry. Here, education empowers the talented minds of new generations to create a positive social impact on our future.

After six generations of students, we are proud to boast a 95% employment rate for our graduates, with 66% working within technology, ICT, or creative industries. The current median salary of our graduates after just three years is between 50-70k. Our alumni include ICPC World Finals Gold Medalists and European champions, alongside programming bootcamp winners, math olympiad champions, emerging designers, and ambitious young entrepreneurs. They have found opportunities with leading companies such as Amazon, IBM, Rakuten, Google, Accenture, Deloitte, EF (Education First), Zeptolab, and Toptal, among others.
