As a transformative educational institution, we empower students to make their mark on the world. We provide them with the skills, knowledge, and environment needed to make a difference, and they join a supportive and international community that lasts a lifetime. IE University offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs. We celebrate diversity in all its forms. Every year, we welcome students, professors, and staff from more than 160 countries, with each person bringing their unique blend of life experience, backgrounds, and perspectives to the table. IE University’s campus currently extends across several buildings in Madrid and Segovia, including the IE Tower in Madrid, a sustainable and vertical campus, and the IE University’s campus in Segovia housed in a 13th-century former convent.
