IE School of Architecture & Design places emphasis on excellence in design, innovation, and entrepreneurship. IE students are encouraged to take a creative approach to architecture, learn the latest digital skills in a contemporary context, and develop talents to become leaders in a changing field. IE School of Architecture & Design is part of a broader university, which supports learning across disciplines, especially the humanities and business.

Diversity among our students and faculty, who come to us from all over the world, creates a rich blend of cultures and a broad learning experience. Three locations give IE unique possibilities: the Madrid campus, a metropolitan setting for post-graduate discussion; the campus in historic Segovia, the venue for the bachelor's degree program, and finally, the virtual campus, a planet-wide space for online teaching. Educational excellence, international scope and entrepreneurship are our hallmarks that differentiate us from other educational institutions.

IE offers a series of programs. The five -year Bachelor degree means that upon completion our students have completed all the requirements to be fully recognized architects. The various masters and special programs allow our students acquire the skills needed in the world of architecture in order to develop successful careers. Moreover, all this is combined with direct and continuous contact with leading international professionals in architecture and design that confer to each of our programs the added value of learning from the experience of leaders in their fields.

Finally, belonging to IE, a center of recognized prestige and global leadership provides the School of Architecture and Design with a series of extraordinary resources and synergies, while furthering the values that have made IE a leading educational institution: entrepreneurship, innovation and the pursuit of excellence.

All this makes our school a unique place of learning and experimentation in architecture and design. We invite you to join us.
