IE University got its start back in 1973, when a group of ambitious entrepreneurs came together with a single mission: to reinvent higher education.
We’ve come a long way since then, now offering a broad catalog of impact-driven programs across six schools. Committed to the pursuit of knowledge and with a focus on sustainability, we aim to drive positive change through education, research and innovation. To that end, we create bachelor’s programs that shape young minds into the leaders of tomorrow, all while embracing our core values of diversity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the humanities.
Our programs aren’t just about acquiring knowledge. They're designed to transform your mindset, guide your personal growth, and help you carve out your ideal future career.
CORE VALUES
At IE University, we are driven by four key values. They inform everything we do, from developing program content, to making decisions about faculty and admissions. We live and breathe these values and they define who we are as a university.
01. TECHNOLOGICAL IMMERSION AND A CULTURE OF INNOVATION
We support the ongoing integration of new technologies into education and beyond. We shape future leaders who are ready to brave the digital world and embrace innovation without fear.
02. HUMANITIES TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD
We firmly believe that the humanities are crucial to understanding our complex modern world. Every program we offer has a human-centric perspective with a strong emphasis on critical thinking.
03. ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET
We inspire and encourage our students to take on an entrepreneurial mindset, constantly asking “why not?” and “is there a better way?”. This mindset creates outside-the-box thinkers primed to make an impact.
04. DIVERSE NATIONALITIES, CULTURES & IDEAS
We embrace diversity—not only in terms of gender, race, age, religion, background, etc., but also in terms of mentalities and ideas. This mix of perspectives fosters creativity, innovation, and progress.
