IE School of Arts & Humanities announces academic partnership with King’s College London

 IE School of Arts & Humanities has announced the signing of an academic agreement with King's College London, one of the world's leading institutions for the study of the arts, social sciences, and humanities.

This collaboration introduces an innovative 3+1 pathway for students enrolled in the Bachelor in Humanities. Under this model, students will complete their first three years at IE University and, in their fourth year, pursue an eligible master's degree at King's College London. Through this pathway, students will benefit from a pan-European, multi-institutional experience and will graduate as alumni of IE University and King's College London, significantly expanding their academic and professional networks while specializing in programs aligned with their career goals.

"This partnership with King's College London marks a significant step forward in expanding global pathways for our Bachelor in Humanities students. Through this agreement, students can tailor their academic journey, whether they aim to deepen their expertise through research or prepare for dynamic careers in the global job market, while gaining international perspective and a clear competitive edge for their future", said Catalina Tejero, Dean of IE School of Arts & Humanities.

King’s College London Faculty of Arts and Humanities welcomed the agreement, stating: "King’s Arts and Humanities is delighted to welcome students from IE and to support them as they immerse themselves in life and study in London, develop new perspectives, and build connections that will shape their future careers and ambitions. This programme reflects our shared commitment to academic excellence and cultural exchange".

The partnership reflects the strong alignment between King's College London and IE University. Both institutions share a commitment to academic excellence, innovation, global engagement, and preparing students to create positive impact in society. 

It also reflects IE School of Arts & Humanities' commitment to supporting students throughout their employability journey by creating tailored academic pathways that connect undergraduate and postgraduate education. Through a personalized academic experience aligned with their interests and future goals, students develop the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a wide range of master's degrees at King's College London.

Through this accelerated 3+1 pathway, students gain access to a master's degree from a top-ranked global university while benefiting from a year in London, one of the world's leading centers for culture, innovation, and global business. The experience offers access to new professional networks, international career opportunities, and a dynamic environment that enhances students' global perspective and employability.

Students may apply to a wide range of master's degrees at King's College London, spanning both academic, research-oriented pathways and industry-facing degrees designed to prepare graduates for evolving professional sectors. These programs include:

• MA Arts & Cultural Management 
• MA Cultural & Creative Industries

This new pathway builds on IE University's broader commitment to flexible, international academic trajectories.
