      Comprehensive medical support is always available, including access to local healthcare providers. All participants must have valid health and travel insurance for the duration of the program.

    • Security On and Off Campus

      All residences and activities are supervised, with secure access and night staff. Transportation to all program activities is organized by IE.

      • On the first day of the program

        On the first day of the program, the IE Summer School team will greet students at Madrid Airport between 6:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and transport them to the Segovia campus by private bus.
