About.

IE University is designed to be a flexible, open space that reflects the challenges and infinite opportunities of the real world. A place where information and skills are immediately working skills. A place that embraces technology and skills in demand.

The world has seen expansive technological growth, yet the majority of the standard university curriculum is based on the memorization and regurgitation facts and on the standardization of set topics to be recited. Times have changed. You have access to the world’s knowledge literally on your phone. You can look up anything within seconds. We know that. You know that. So why do so many universities ignore our technological and social progress?

What makes humanity unique is our creativity and adaptability to shifting landscapes. You need to learn how to use information you acquire, to evaluate it, and finally, apply it - not just know it by heart. We are excited for the changes the 21st century is bringing and we want you to be successful by the standards of this century, not the ones that preceded it.

We will support you through frustrations and setbacks, they are inevitable and lessons to be taken with a grain of salt. Things get hard, and we believe that is more than okay, it’s part of the process, as with all things. Developing depth of character and perseverance are critical to face life’s challenges in today and tomorrow’s world. Especially tomorrow’s world.
