ADMISSION PROCESS

The candidate is required to submit an admissions application which includes his/her personal details and professional experience. Once received, an interview will take place to provide the candidate with additional program information to ensure that it fits his/her personal and professional objectives. At this point in the admissions process, the candidate’s overall profile will be evaluated by the Admissions Committee and the decision will be communicated to the candidate shortly thereafter.

FINANCIAL AID

The possibility exists to secure financing for any of our Executive Education programs thanks to different agreements that IE Business School enjoys with various financial institutions. Furthermore, the IE Foundation has funds reserved exclusively for scholarships made possible by generous donations from alumni, private businesses and non-profit organizations.

For Executive Education participants working and declaring taxes in Spain, the Global Advanced Management Program offers these individuals’ employers the possibility to enjoy a partial reimbursement with the Fundación Tripartita para el Empleo.

Frequently asked questions

  • The first step is to fill out the admission application with all the information you consider relevant.

  • Once we receive the completed admission application, we will contact you to ask for your availability of days and time slots, and thus schedule a non-binding conversation with the academic director of the program. It can be in-person, over the phone, or via video call. Within 24-48 hours, you will know the decision of the admissions committee.

  • Yes, it is only mandatory to fill out personal information, latest professional experience, and a brief motivation questionnaire; the rest is optional. However, all the information you provide will be taken into account for admission purposes.

  • We have a rolling admission process, but we recommend starting the process with enough time to conduct the interview and, if applicable, the scholarship or bank financing application process. However, the deadline to start the process is one week before the program begins.

  • Filling out the application will only take you a few minutes. Once we know your availability, we will schedule the interview with the academic director in the following days. Finally, after the conversation, you will know the decision of the admissions committee within 24-48 hours.

  • There are 3 different visa options: 1. Student visa: from IE, we will provide you with the enrollment certificate in the corresponding program to assist you with the visa application process. / 2. Non-Lucrative Residence Visa: in this case, the visa would not be associated with the completion of the program, but it would allow you to reside in Spain without the right to work, as long as you can demonstrate that you have sufficient financial means to cover your stay. / 3. Digital Nomads: international teleworkers. Spain has launched a special visa for digital nomads, which allows you to work from anywhere in the country while you are enrolled in the program.
