OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

At IE University, we believe that what you learn outside the classroom is just as important as what you learn in the classroom. That’s why we make sure every student has endless opportunities to expand their cultural, personal, and professional horizons.

With our exchange programs, for example, you can study at any of our partner universities across the globe and open yourself up to a whole new culture or language—something that’s becoming more and more important in our increasingly interconnected and globalized world.

We also have our special IEU Labs, a hands-on and internship-like experience on campus that helps you learn extra skills and better prepares you for your future career.

There are also more than 150 clubs to help you find like-minded people who share your hobbies and interests. Ranging from theater to sports, academia, and more, there’s something for everyone.

The Design Studio and Architecture Studio provide dynamic environments where students work on real-world projects, guided by faculty and industry experts, to develop practical design solutions.

LEARNING BY DOING

Learning by doing, the very first design exhibition is the result of the introduction to the project-based learning model and the skills needed to begin a design career. In the first year, students started working in the world of design experimentation and problem solving. The methodology unites theory and practice during 10 diverse and agile exercises, both individually and in group, sketching and working with materials at the IE Fablab.
