FILLING THE TECH LEADERSHIP GAP. Our goal is to train the next generation of multidisciplinary tech leaders by equipping them with the critical-thinking skills, innovation mindset, and business savvy to complement their deep technical knowledge.
The School
IE School of Science and Technology is one of the five schools within IE University that together share our lively campuses in Madrid and Segovia, as well as the myriad benefits available to all students including Campus Life, Talent & Careers, and access to our extensive alumni network. We identify and design educational programs that meet the needs of companies today, keeping students ahead of the dynamics of the new economy.
TRAINING THE FUTURE
IE School of Science and Technology is unique. We know of no other school in the world that has taken such radical steps to topple the traditional walls between academic disciplines. What we’ve built is an “anti-disciplinary” school of the highest caliber. Our programs intertwine the most practical and applicable knowledge and skills from the latest science, technology, and business. We handcraft every IE School of Science and Technology program based on robust academics and the demands of recruiters in the job market. And we do this with a single purpose in mind: to train the next generation of innovative, multidisciplinary tech leaders.
