IE University

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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

*The title of Law 4/1997 was modified by the entry into force of Law 13/2008, of December 9, whereby S.E.K. University was renamed IE University, based in Segovia. Hence, Law 4/1997 of April 24th, recognizing S.E.K. University as a private university based in Segovia, became Law 4/1997 of April 24th, recognizing IE University as a private university based in Segovia.
