IE University has supported 7,000 students from over 130 nations on campus, 30 offices worldwide and over 60,000 alumni.

Founded in 1973, IE University now comprises over 500 professors teaching bachelor’s, master’s and executive programs across campuses in Madrid, Segovia and online.

They have built a unique educational ecosystem based on four key pillars: innovation, entrepreneurship, diversity and a focus on the humanities.

The culmination of their vision is 'Liquid Learning', a methodology that removes boundaries between online and in-person education, resulting in a flexible and highly interactive educational journey that breaks traditional barriers to learning.

Fostering entrepreneurial skills

IE University encourages disruptive, innovative thinking, and takes pride in the fact that 25% of its alumni have started their own businesses.

All their programs are taught from a practical and entrepreneurial perspective, encouraging students to craft and apply solutions in the real world. This approach is exemplified by the wide range of initiatives designed to foster entrepreneurial spirit and provide a platform for startups.

IE Startup Labs provide training, networking opportunities, resources and support to get new ventures up and running.

The IE Venture Labs places student startups in front of angel investors, venture capitalists and fellow entrepreneurs.

They also host a Business Plan Challenge that offers students a chance to pitch ideas to investors in a competitive environment, gaining exposure and perfecting pitching skills.

Building sustainably designed campuses

A new innovation hub and the latest addition to Madrid’s skyline, the IE Tower is a beacon of sustainable architecture and a new benchmark in cutting-edge education that seamlessly integrates AI, VR and AR elements into the classrooms of the future.

Built with social, economic and environmental sustainability at the core of its design and construction, it features 7,000 square meters of green spaces across three distinct zones.

It’s a dynamic space designed to encourage personal and academic growth.
