In Barcelona (and rest of Catalonia), Catalan is an official language (Spanish is the other official one) and all education, including university, is held in Catalan only. Catalan is a separate language, more similar to French, whereas Spanish is more similar to Portuguese than Catalan is. I'm from Barcelona and Catalan speaker, so this is absolutely normal for me, but you should be aware of that. However, I know that in some private universities there are also lessons held in English. If your aim is to learn Spanish, apart from getting your degree in computer science, I think it will be better for you to go to Madrid. Yes, we are happy people in Barcelona, and they are in Madrid, too.
