OUR STANDING PROMISE
Every career built in finance, leadership or STEM and beyond rests on years of deliberate institutional effort: recruitment policies, scholarships and awards, mentorship networks and research built specifically so that authentic talent doesn't go unnoticed. This is that work, in the policies, numbers and programs that make it real.
OUR ACTION PILLARS
To guarantee women flourish in the long-term, we've crafted an action plan across four main areas:
- 01.
OUR NETWORK
We build bridges to cultivate thriving networks and meaningful conversations.
- 02.
REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN ALL FIELDS
Through strategic recruitment initiatives, we are casting a wide net, ensuring that all voices are present and valued.
- 03.
GENDER PERSPECTIVE IN OUR ACADEMIC WORK
A broad perspective is central to our academic content and research, and it shapes where that research leads.
- 04.
THE IE COMMUNITY
Our staff and faculty are encouraged to cherish diversity of thought and promote initiatives that reflect the full range of the communities we serve.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS FOR WOMEN
IE University provides a diverse selection of scholarships and awards for all candidates. We grant both general funding options and specific allocations for individuals entering fields with historically low female representation, such as STEM or finance. Our financial aid frameworks continuously evolve to match the trajectories of our applicants, with current details and availability maintained on our dedicated Financial Aid page.
NETWORK-BUILDING INITIATIVES
NETWORK-BUILDING INITIATIVES
IE University offers initiatives with one common goal: to create a space where women can be inspired, uplifted and supported. From mentorship circles to alumnae panels and community meetups, these initiatives take shape in whatever format serves the connection best. Connect with new people, exchange advice and expertise, compare experiences and come away with the vision to keep moving forward.
IMPACT IN EDUCATION
Through academic content, research, career development and financial aid, we contribute to uplifting women across our community.
PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES
We offer academic programs and courses that equip women with the skills to excel in roles and industries where they're underrepresented. We also offer courses, open to anyone, that promote awareness on topics that are core to women's sense of belonging in any environment.
DIVERSE, IMPACT-DRIVEN RESEARCH
We offer PhD programs, applied research projects and thematic research groups so that you can conduct research in the way that best suits you. Our community of dedicated scholars is comprised of unique profiles, perspectives and areas of expertise.
Areas of focus
Industry dynamics change when qualified professionals bring new perspectives to the table. Our programs in finance, STEM, leadership and beyond combine rigorous coursework with direct industry connections and mentorship, giving you the practical tools and network needed to enter the field fully ready to lead.
OUR STUDENT BODY
OUR STUDENT BODY
IE University maintains a global presence with 28 international offices, connecting us with exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds across the world. We intentionally bridge geographic and cultural boundaries to enrich classroom dialogue with unique, unscripted perspectives. Our students represent more than 100 nationalities, bringing a range of experience that turns every classroom into a working model of the global teams they'll eventually lead. To this end, we ensure that students worldwide have equal access to transformative educational opportunities on a vibrant, modern campus designed for full accessibility.
TALENT & CAREERS
Talent & Careers offers professional guidance built around your unique vision of success, during your time at IE University and long after. We host recruiting events, partner with over 550 companies and run the IE Career Portal, which has seen over 12,000 job postings for our community alone.
FOCUS ON CONTINUOUS GROWTH
Trajectories and professional growth are forged over time. We provide continuous professional training, executive advice, and access to the IE Career Portal, which centralizes access to job offers, specialized and individualized assessments, events and strategic career development resources long after graduation.
WOMEN IN TECH
Finding a mentor who is knowledgeable of what it takes to thrive in the Tech industry can be an invaluable asset for our female students looking to kickstart their career in Technology. Get matched with experienced mentors for four one-on-one sessions over four months.
EMPOWERING MENTORS
As a professional, guide the next generation. We offer IE alumnae the opportunity to support women advancing in limited-diversity fields.
As a student, gain a distinct advantage. We match you with industry mentors across various sectors, including a dedicated technology track featuring four intensive, one-on-one strategy sessions to accelerate your trajectory.
RECRUITMENT POLICIES
Our admissions policies are merit-based; however, we actively pursue gender balance through intensified recruitment efforts. This is to ensure that awareness and accessibility are optimized across audiences. Here are some of the proactive steps we take:
- 01.
Continuous Data Monitoring
We systematically collect and continuously monitor gender-related data across our selection processes, covering researchers, PhD candidates, research associates and students, to track progress with real numbers rather than assumptions.
- 02.
Objective Selection Panels
We ensure gender balance among the technical and administrative staff responsible for recruitment, selection and admissions, so the people making these decisions reflect the diversity we're working to build.
- 03.
Targeted Global Outreach
We regularly review our efforts to attract top female candidates worldwide, particularly in fields where women remain underrepresented, and our recruitment teams have the freedom to act on what that review finds.
- 04.
Bias Mitigation Training
We strongly encourage our staff to engage with audiovisual content and information aimed at combatting gender stereotypes within the IE University community, especially in the context of assessment procedures. This is an ongoing practice, and here's an example .
