“IE University is very practical in the sense that they want you to learn based on cases. This is very beneficial because when you go out into the real world, you have the opportunity to apply what you learned in class, to these life cases.”
“What I like about my program is that not all of us have the same profile, there are people that are new in this field and they give you another point of view on how to deal with some problems.”
“IE is preparing me for my future career in a lot of different ways. I’ve learned both hard and soft skills, like coding and communication. Group projects also ensure that we learn how to coexist with other people and work towards a common goal.”
“For me, the most important characteristic of this master’s is that it really broadened my horizons. It showed me a whole new realm of different experiences and knowledge that I wasn’t exposed to before.”
“The first challenge you may find when trying to do this master’s is the complexity of the technology. If you’re not a technology oriented person, you may find it hard to begin with, but the professors are very smart and they will help you along the way”
