Math as a Seconde Language MSL - Máster en Matemáticas como Segunda Lengua

Anyone who lacks the strong maths foundation for a career in tech, but is eager to learn has a home in our foundational course. Students acquire all the basic tools they need to apply for any top-rate tech university in the world.

If your maths level is not sufficient, you can first join our intensive, one year preparatory Maths as a Second Language (MSL) course before starting the maths intensive degree studies. After successful completion of MSL students are granted an automatic right to enter all maths intensive degrees at Harbour.Space.

The foundational course gives students all the essential mathematical knowledge in programming, geometry, algebra, calculus and algorithms they need to develop their skills in technology.

Applicants who wish to acquire math skills in order to pursue studies in elite technical universities at an undergraduate or graduate levels are invited to apply to MSL.

Jobs in the private sector abound:

Finance: Wall Street has become a major employer of maths majors.

Cryptography and Security: One area that is particularly "hot" these days is cryptography - the making and breaking of secret codes. Numerous businesses require cryptography. Banks employ cryptography in order to protect the privacy and integrity of their transactions. Number theory is the branch of pure mathematics which provides the theoretical underpinnings for much of the recent progress in cryptography.

Biotech: Recent breakthroughs in the study of DNA and proteins have generated a great deal of interest in mathematical biology. Many biotech companies hire mathematics majors because of the high (and growing) mathematical content of the field.

Computer and Data Science: The computer industry provides many lucrative jobs for maths majors.
