IExPEERience: The experience of being a student at IE University

Fifty pre-university students from sixteen countries participated in an activity called "IExPEERience" where IE University invited them to meet the Santa Cruz la Real campus and the city of Segovia for three days. The aim was to give the young ones a first contact with the campus and to show them the innovative model developed by IE University.

The fifty-five students, who have already been admitted to the private school to start their studies in September 2013, came from Austria, Belgium, Colombia, United Arab Emirates, Spain, France, Italy, Jordan, Monaco, Morocco, Norway , Poland, Portugal, UK, Switzerland and Turkey.

In addition to experiencing classes and workshops at IE University, where students from over 80 nationalities currently live, the future students had the chance to meet and share some information with some current students at the university who are studying degrees in Business Administration, Architecture, Communication, Law, Psychology and International Relations. From these new relationships, the future students will get an idea of the academic level that best adapts to their abilities and intellectual and professional concerns. Along with workshops taught by professors from IE University, those students who were admitted participated in a wide range of leisure activities such as a dance class, a silk painting workshop, a magic show or a gastronomic tour through the center of Segovia in search of the best ‘tapas’.
