IE University welcomes Visiting and Exchange students from around the world to who wish to spend one or two semesters studying abroad. IE University’s personalized approach to education, and student-centered community, will allow you the opportunity to have a unique, transforming experience.

Find out whether you are a Visiting or Exchange student in order to know how to apply for admission.  Both programs offer you the opportunity to study for one or two semesters, but there are important differences in the application process.
