WHAT WE BELIEVE IN: OUR VALUES

Harnessing the power of people through diversity

A diverse community embraces the many facets of its people. Thanks to our commitment to diversity, including gender, ethnicity, culture, age, physical appearance, experiences and mindsets, we are able to see the world from a more multifaceted perspective, sparking creativity and compassion throughout the IE experience.

Diversity

Driving change through innovation

Curiosity is key to stimulating new and sustainable patterns of thinking. At IE University, we innovate education through sector-leading professors, personalized learning and cutting-edge technology in a way that humanizes learning. Our Liquid Learning educational experience elevates the learning journey, helping students curate their path, every step of the way.

Understanding the world through the humanities

The secret to grasping the complexities of our world is by understanding the people that live in it. That’s why we infuse the humanities into everything we do, from incorporating modules into our curriculum, to coordinating arts and cultural initiatives for our whole community. By exploring the human experience, our graduates emerge as well-rounded individuals with an enhanced and more inclusive mindset.
