IE University

IE University is a prestigious private higher education institution based in Madrid, Spain, known for its innovative, international approach to education. With campuses in Madrid and Segovia, it consistently ranks among the world's top business schools, particularly through its IE Business School. Its graduate and undergraduate programs, offered across business, technology, law, architecture, and international relations, emphasize hands-on, experimental learning and attract around 7,000 students each year, of whom more than 80% come from outside Spain, creating an extraordinarily diverse and globally connected campus environment.

IE University's Spain presence is its core identity: it operates from primary campuses in Madrid and the historic city of Segovia, with offices complementing the academic infrastructure. The institution's culture is entrepreneurial, forward-looking, and heavily service-oriented, with strong emphasis on innovation and global citizenship, which also extends to its non-academic workforce across areas such as IT, student services, marketing, and corporate partnerships. For international professionals, IE is an employer that prizes interdisciplinary thinking, multilingual skills, and experience working within multicultural settings, offering a work environment that is deeply integrated into Spain's capital city.

Company History

IE University was founded in 1973 as IE Business School in Madrid, initially offering a business-focused curriculum under the name Instituto de Empresa. Over the decades, it expanded into a comprehensive university with a broader array of programs, later renaming itself IE University. It now operates with multiple campuses across Madrid and Segovia, and is widely recognized as one of the world-leading institutions in business and management education.
