Even though I felt the program was unstructured and doesn’t feels like a Master this was a great opportunity to meet people all over the world and become part of a multicultural family.

Harbour.Space it’s better for their independent courses than for their masters.

I graduated from Digital Marketing with a Summa Cum Laude MBA. It was a walk in the park, to be honest. Even high school was more intense.

I initially decided to go there as it seemed to be an intellectual elite, providing hands-on, innovative education. I cannot confirm what I experienced either.

It was my third degree – I studied at 2 “real” universities and got to know 2 additional ones in Europe and Asia during exchange semesters. Also, I have been teaching as a university lecturer for many years. This means I can definitely evaluate the quality – or the lack thereof.

Several tutors didn’t have any teaching experience and hence lacked the ability to teach, not to speak of creativity in teaching at all. There is so much you can do to create an impactful vibe in a classroom – yet, it was mostly the presentation of slides and delegation of tasks/working on group projects.

Also, most of the lecturers were agency owners – which does not necessarily qualify them to teach or to be “elite”. Several tried to get business out of my professional network (having worked for global players for many years, they saw a lot of opportunity…).

there was no coherent curriculum (my Intro to digital marketing was my last module, I still wonder how this makes sense…), no specified teaching standard no quality management that would ensure the content taught has real-life relevance and is applicable.

I could go on, but I’d say, people, should judge for themselves.

I would strongly recommend anyone who is interested in:
1) do thorough research
2) contact graduates and ask if they have some minutes for a personal call
3) ensure that the recommendations were not given/written by staff or students who worked for Harbour Space at some point or still do
4) check on e.g. LinkedIn how the career development of graduates went (in which companies/positions they ended up)
5) make sure they have the accreditation you will need for your future (academic) career – at the time I was there, they weren’t even accredited.

There were some modules I found interesting and enjoyed, yet, had zero relevance for my career.
