International

IE University offers a learning environment that facilitates an international outlook and global vision, with students and faculty from around the world who bring a diversity of perspectives and experiences. Each year an average of 80 different nationalities are represented on campus with over 65 % of our students coming from abroad.

Our international scope and vision extends beyond our multinational campuses. IE University has a global reach, and each year students participate in projects and internships worldwide. The aim of an international educational and our approach to teaching is geared towards the development of global citizens who are capable of working in diverse environments, graduates who are open to the world and prepared professionally and personally for an international vocation.

“What stands out the most at IE University is simply how international it is. You find yourself getting to know people from different horizons with completely different ways of thinking and living. Studying at IE University helps you open up yourself to the world and approach its cultures differently. The most striking thing at the beginning is the number of different languages that you can hear in one room. And instead of being a barrier, these contrasts help us bond and learn more about ourselves and others.” Kenza Aghedar, Morocco.

Humanistic

A Humanistic education provides personal and intellectual enrichment, sharpens critical thinking and enlarges the depth and breadth of vision needed to make sense of our complex world. Our students receive the framework with which to understand different cultures and social situations. Through this Humanistic vision we enable students to see new possibilities for being and doing, allowing them to be innovative and entrepreneurial in a globalized world.

“I was really looking for a program which integrated other subjects, like Humanities and Ethics. Regardless of where you end up going in your life, you will need to incorporate these other aspects into your outlook and that for me is the most incredible part about studying here.” Josephine Kant, The Netherlands

Flexible

Our programs are flexible and adapted to the professional interests and aspirations of the student. IE University uses a variety of teaching tools and formats that offer students greater flexibility in their studies in order to tailor their academic trajectory.

Each program incorporates an online period which means students can carry out projects and do internships anywhere in the world, gaining valuable professional experience while still taking classes.

The flexibility to apply innovative approaches in higher education makes it possible to always be in step with or ahead of the complex dynamics in our changing societies and an increasingly demanding labor market.

“The program is well rounded and suited to the career goals which I wish to achieve. IE University’s diversity teaches students to adapt and be open to different ways of learning.” Mika Robles, Philippines

Pioneering

IE University is an environment where students can push boundaries, open up to new areas of thought, research or development and venture into the unexplored. Students are not only encouraged to start new initiatives, they are provided with the resources and training they need to be successful.

Each year new social initiatives, research projects and business are launched by students. Students work on IE Labs projects doing research and consultancy with the aim to bring innovative ideas to companies and institutions while others collaborate with the IE Start Up Lab in order to launch their own businesses.

“IE University offers the perfect environment to become an innovative, decisive and productive entrepreneur and global change maker. It is a place where students are encouraged to pursue innovative ideas and learn extraordinary leadership skills. ” Abdel-Latif Arouna, Germany

The international community at our University not only provides me with friends and contacts from around the world, but it allows me to sit in a classroom where so many different cultures merge to discuss a topic from multiple angles. This is an experience that made me trust in myself and taught me how to think outside the box.
