BACHELOR IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ADMISSIONS & FEES
The various stages of our admission process are aimed at identifying those areas of your academic and personal profile that make you unique, and to make sure that you fit in with our educational model.
At IE University, undergraduate admission is organized into different admissions rounds, each with its own application deadline. Applying in one of the earlier rounds means you'll receive your admission decision sooner, giving you more time to plan your next steps, such as securing housing, completing the official recognition of your previous studies, or, where applicable, applying for a visa. Earlier rounds also have greater capacity available, so we encourage you to submit your application as early as possible.
We recommend that you register for our upcoming events (Open House, virtual sessions etc.) so that you can receive information on all our degrees, read about our methodology and air any questions you may have.
If you are non-EU candidate, we encourage you to confirm your place and begin your visa process as early as possible. Keep in mind that depending on your region, visa-related deadlines may apply. For more information, feel free to contact iestudentservices@ie.edu or visit our dedicated page.Â
