Harbour.Space University
speciality: Computer Science

HarbourSpace University’s Data Science program offers a truly unique and intensive educational experience that stands apart from traditional academic models. The curriculum is built around a series of concentrated, three-week modules, a fast-paced model that demands consistent engagement and a “learning by doing” approach. This ensures that students are not just absorbing theory, but immediately applying concepts to solve real-world problems through hands-on, project-based work. The faculty is a major strength, often composed of seasoned industry professionals who provide up-to-date insights and connections that are invaluable.

It is a startup real life, this is exactly what people need to understand! If you make the decision to be in a startup life, you need to live the real startup vibe. It is amazing once you understand that the comfort zone is NOT what you would find here. So welcome the real change and embrace all of the learnings that brings for you.

As a student there, I got a bachelor in Computer Science Data Science.
The computer science curriculum is heavily focused on software engineering and web development. There are several courses to learn about different modern technologies. I would recommend it if you want to get ready to work in the industry.
The data science program covers a lot of hot areas in the ML field and other topics such as data analysis and MLops.

Also, there’s strong support for students interested in doing competitive programming, with the university sponsoring camps and competitions.

What I would say they lack is strong math courses for bachelor students.

The university offers other programs in design and entrepreneurship, and you can take some of those classes and work on projects along with the students from these programs if you’re interested.
Also, there are people from all over the world, and you get to make a very nice community.

The campus is small, which makes you get to know everyone or almost everyone. It also allows you to have a closer interaction with the teachers.

Most of the teachers are great, with a lot of professional and teaching experience.

One more thing is that you can work part-time for some partner companies or even the university itself, and build real products while getting sponsored for your studies.

The university is not a great place for students inclined toward research, as most students are interested in it, and there’s no sponsorship or support from the university for research.

It’s a good school with the opportunity to network with a very diverse group of people from around the world. The small classrooms enable the students to collaborate and learn from each other and although the 3 week modules can be intense at times, having that fast turnaround makes it easier.

You really manage to build close relationships with the teachers and staff which can help you grow personally and professionally.
