We Are Ready - Always delivering the best experience

At IE University, our mission is to stay ahead of the curve. That’s why we were one of the world’s first institutions to resume face-to-face classes in June 2020, with our bachelor’s and master’s programs returning to campus in September. And it’s the reason we’ve already started hosting in-person events that give life to the IE Experience. This has all been possible thanks to our COVID-19 health protocols that are as innovative as our program content. Not only have we complied with the minimum safety requirements, but we’ve devised intricate new measures such as the Liquid Learning model, the COVID-19 Tracer Web App, and rapid antigen testing for everyone who steps onto campus. We’ve never been more ready. What about you?

NUMBER OF TESTS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC

We are proactive

Following the instructions of the authorities, we started delivering our programs exclusively online from March 11, 2020. By responding proactively and shifting our programs to an online format, we were able to continue providing our unrivaled academic experience, while protecting the health of our community.

We are resilient

On March 30, 2020, we announced the launch of Building Resilience, an online hub that provides access to open courses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are supportive

At the end of April 2020, IE University and IE Foundation launched a €5 million COVID-19 scholarship fund to support talented individuals who have been affected economically by the pandemic.

We are pioneers

On May 20, we revealed our future-forward Liquid Learning model that allows our community to benefit from world-class education, regardless of where they are.

We are prepared

We opened our campus in June 2020 with all the health protocols necessary to ensure the maximum safety of our community. And our campus has been open without any interruptions ever since.

We are back to normal

In September 2020, we became one of the world’s only universities to resume face-to-face classes for our bachelor’s and master’s programs. Since then, our campus has been vibrant and full of life, once again defined by our community of students and faculty from 140 different countries.

We are open

With the aim of controlling the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Spanish government decreed a national state of alarm on October 25, 2020. At IE University, our academic activity continued as normal.

We are stronger than ever

In the eight days following the 2021 Easter break, we carried out a record of 4,333 tests so that our community could come back to campus and resume studies without interruption.

We are responsible

By April 9, 2021, IE University had carried out over 37,000 tests in Segovia and Madrid since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

OUR CAMPUS IS ALIVE

At IE University, we know that academia is just one part of the university experience. That’s why we’ve worked hard to create a vibrant, diverse and life-enriching environment that we’re immensely proud of. So when in-person classes resumed in June 2020, so did our on-campus events. The IE Experience hasn’t stopped, and we want to give our community the chance to make the most of it.

YOUR HEALTH + YOUR EDUCATION = YOUR FUTURE

Yes, we’re living in the midst of a global pandemic. But there’s no reason for today’s crisis to have an impact on tomorrow’s success. At IE University, we believe that education and safety are completely compatible. That’s why we’ve been working tirelessly since the beginning of the health crisis to protect our students, teachers and staff, while guaranteeing the continuity of academic activity. More than 7,000 students from 140 countries continued their training exclusively online during the weeks of confinement, and our campus has been open without interruption since June of 2020.

And the lessons we’ve learned this year have reached far further than the classroom. Not only have we discovered the importance of collaboration, but we’ve learned that agility and flexibility are key to thriving in just about any situation. Watch this video to hear what our community has to say about the fresh perspectives and skills they acquired during this time.
