The Student Office provides personalized services to students. As soon as students are enrolled, the Student Office will assist them and any accompanying family members prepare for their arrival in Spain.

Let us know what your interests are and we will tell you what IE University has to offer.

Clubs and activities: We encourage cultural exchange activities which help our students to fit into university life. The Student Office organizes and lets you know what activities are available and provides pointers on how to set up or join an IE University club.

Orientation Week: New students are invited to take part in a week of activities held at the start of the academic year, aimed at familiarizing them with life and their studies at IE University. Orientation Week includes tours of the campus and the city of Segovia, introductory workshops about services and studies, and outdoor activities which make it easy for you to meet other students, alumni and members of the faculty, and make you feel at home.

Foreign students

The Student Office provides personalized services to international students. As soon as students are enrolled, the Student Office will assist them and any accompanying family members prepare for their arrival in Spain.

Visas: If you are a citizen of a non-EU country, obtaining a student visa is the first step. Students who are not citizens of the European Union must ask for a visa at the Embassy or Consulate of Spain in their country. As soon as you have your student password you can access all the information available on the Online Campus website where the Student Office provides detailed instructions and advice on how to proceed. Once you are in Spain, the Student Office helps you to obtain the student permit required.
Accommodation: The Student Office will assist you in choosing and arranging your accommodation. IE University has an on-campus Residence Hall and renting options for those who prefer to live off-campus. The Office can also arrange for students to stay with a host family for those who prefer to spend the academic year in a family environment.
Medical insurance: Students who require a visa must obtain private medical insurance for the duration of the program. IE University provides international insurance agreements that can be contracted from abroad and will help you with this process.
Personalized attention: The Student Office caters to the specific needs of students and their families. We will assist you in the process of opening a bank account or telephone line, and help you access information and discounts on many services.
Global support: Our services are international, with 25 offices strategically situated across the globe. Depending on where you are, we can put you in touch with an IE University representative closest to you.
