Study in Southern Europe
Study at our bootcamp in Barcelona, an international oasis along the Mediterranean
We’ve thought long and hard about it and concluded there are exactly three things that set Barcelona apart as a place to study.
Our Campus
We’re based in Barcelona’s first penthouse coworking space in the Sagrada Familia neighborhood—a perfect backdrop to our courses.
Here you’ll find Barcelona’s most iconic landmark just a few steps away. This part of Barcelona lives and breathes creativity, and you can quickly get around due to its central location and public transportation links.
As a student, you’ll have access to regular networking events, free weekly yoga classes, open seating, and an outdoor terrace which hosts events like talks, networking sessions, launches, concerts and company parties.
The Quality of Life
We’d bet Bitcoin on the likelihood of your quality of life improving as soon as you move here. The city is made up of various neighbourhoods, each with its own personality that comes to life during fiestas throughout a year that’s always loaded with local cultural events.
Whether you’re interested in art, music, food, architecture, watersports, skiing (just 2 hours away—seriously) or just lounging in the sun in your free time, Barcelona is the place to enjoy any one or all six of these things.
