School description

Our campus is located at Carrer de Pamplona, 96. It’s an amazing full- equiped campus, next to the beach, at the heart of the “indie” BCN.
We offer intensive programming & design courses in the latest web and mobile technologies and believe that the best way to learn how to code is by actually coding. You can choose between our Web development course which lasts 9 weeks or our UX/UI Design course which lasts 8 weeks.

Our goal is to help our students achieve tangible outcomes by providing the most practical and hands-on experience. Our curriculum is constantly being revised and iterated to follow the most cutting- edge changes in the industry.

We offer career services with a job placement rate of 75% in the first 3 months after graduation.

Hiring Week takes place just after graduation. During this week, top- tier companies visit our campus to conduct both real & mock interviews, give coding challenges, assess the performance of our students and other proactive feedback to Ironhack graduates.

Why Barcelona

Barcelona has one of the most active tech ecosystems in Europe. Barcelona is also home to large events like the Mobile World Congress and amazing startups like Typeform or Wallapop. Best of all, Ironhack's campus is located within the 22@ District, the startup hub of Barcelona.

A cosmopolitan spot:

There are thousands of things you can do in Barcelona, from relaxing on the beach to going into the woods and discovering astonishing works of architecture and art. Or, check out an FC Barcelona match!

Buzzing Campus:

Ironhack Barcelona is home to many local techs and design Meetups, conferences and events. Students also enjoy open classrooms and huge study areas. We really renovated and updated this old cookie factory into a technology hub!
