Welcome from the Rector

It is an honor to welcome you to our institution.

IE University is a global community that conceives education as a commitment to personal transformation, humanism, and positive impact. We understand education as the building of bridges of knowledge and understanding across disciplines, cultures, and generations, thereby strengthening our community’s ability to respond with rigor and creativity to the challenges of our time.

We are living in a period marked by accelerated change, driven by technological innovation, the energy transition, geopolitical tensions, and the evolution of our societies. In this context, the university of the twenty-first century must anticipate trends, foster critical reflection, and embrace the responsibility of shaping leaders capable of contributing ethically and effectively to collective progress. With this vision, we will advance the global projection of IE University and the strategic development of our schools, reinforcing academic excellence, the growth of our faculty, and the reach of our research.

At IE University, we deeply believe in the value of the extraordinary. Our purpose is to provide the tools, methods, and environment needed for each person to develop their unique potential and channel it toward meaningful impact. We foster curiosity, creativity, resilience, and collaboration, convinced that these values empower our students to grow, lead, and contribute purposefully to the world.

Our mission is to offer an international, interdisciplinary, and excellence-driven education that enables every student to develop their talent and move forward with intention and determination. This commitment is reflected in our diverse community, in a faculty of international renown, in strategic alliances with institutions around the world, and in our strong focus on research, innovation, and critical thinking.

Our global ecosystem, composed of students, faculty, and an alumni network spanning every continent, embodies the humanistic and international spirit that defines IE University: a community committed to continuous learning, dialogue, and the generation of lasting impact on society and the planet.

Welcome to IE University.
