EXCHANGE STUDENT ORIENTATION WEEK

Incoming students are treated to an exciting Orientation Week upon arrival at IE University! The Global Experience Office, in collaboration with multiple other IEU departments, organizes a variety of fun activities to help you meet your fellow exchange and visiting students and get settled on campus.

  • Orientation Session

    ORIENTATION & WELCOME SESSION

    The GEO team takes pleasure in welcoming you to IE University through this mandatory Orientation session, where you will meet your fellow incoming students and learn about all the resources available to you as an incoming student from various IEU departments. Made possible through collaboration with Student Services, Campus Life, Sports & Well-being, the Counseling Center, the Language Center, and the Exchange Society club.

  • CAMPUS TOURS

    Welcome to IE University! Join us for a guided tour and familiarize yourself with key spots around campus while connecting with your fellow exchange and visiting students.

  • TAPAS NIGHT

    Always our most popular Orientation event! Join us off-campus at a local Madrid restaurant to sample some traditional Spanish tapas – small plates of food traditionally served for free when you order a drink at a Spanish bar. This is a great way to sample Spanish cuisine while getting to know your fellow exchange and visiting students in a relaxed, social setting.  

  • A lively gathering where people are engaged in discussion around a table with food and a presentation screen.

    Speed Networking

    Make new connections for your IEU experience! This is a free-flowing Networking event in which the incoming exchange and visiting students can meet each other and meet up with their local IEU student “Amigos” (for those who participated in our Amigo Network)! Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to mix, mingle, and meet amazing people!

  • Music Wednesdays

    This weekly event, organized by Campus Life, will have you singing and dancing your way into the new semester. There will be live music, food and drinks, and you will have the opportunity to meet both fellow exchange students and local IE University students.

  • CULTURE SHOCK WORKSHOPS

    We know that adjusting to life in a new country – even for just one semester – can feel overwhelming! That’s why we offer a series of workshops to help you better adapt and thrive during your time abroad. These interactive sessions will explain what Culture Shock is, its common manifestations, and give you practical tips to better adjust to life in Spain. This will be another great chance to connect with other incoming students who are going through the same transition as you.
