Who should apply
Intakes
Two campuses - one application process. Here’s what you need to know if you’re starting your application.
Next Intakes
There is no place like Barcelona. Spain’s cultural capital is known for its beautiful climate and stunning architecture, but the city itself has developed from a top holiday destination into one of the most buzzing entrepreneurial hubs in the world. Harbour.Space is located in the bustling 22@ innovation district - the center of the tech and startup scene, but still five minutes from the sea. Work hard, play hard.
Application process
You’re welcome to apply at any time of the year. Do make sure you apply as soon as you can so there’s plenty of time for the application process and any visa handling.
