The admissions process for the 2025-2026 is open.​

The various stages of our admissions process are aimed at identifying those areas of your academic and personal profile that make you unique and exceptional, and to make sure that you fit in with our educational model. IE University enjoys one of the most diverse student bodies of any elite educational institution in the world. The only things our student body have in common are their academic excellence, global outlook and desire for constant learning.

We don’t have a specific deadline for admission into any of our undergraduate programs. We have a rolling admissions policy, which means that you can apply to IE University at any time of the year.

Places on our undergraduate programs are limited, and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, by strict order of reservation and following our admissions criteria. As our programs are usually full several months before the academic year starts, we advise you to start the process as soon as possible, keeping in mind that having your studies officially recognized, and if applicable, applying for visas, can take time.

We recommend that you register for our upcoming events (open house, virtual sessions etc.) so that you can receive information on all our degrees, read about our methodology and air any questions you may have.

If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to contact us by e-mail at university@ie.edu or by phone on + 34 921 412 428 or +34 915 689 620.
