“Global challenges require global solutions developed by global minds with a global perspective. To train and nurture global citizens with a global mindset, the International Relations Department at IE creates and integrates global academic partnerships across all five IE University Schools.” – Maria-Eugenia Marin , General Director International Relations
Through the more than 200 global partnerships with prestigious universities worldwide, IE students are able to further their international experience and training by participating in exchange programs, dual and joint degree programs, international projects and competitions, summer programs, and global immersion modules. By participating in these initiatives, students gain essential skills in cross-cultural communication and a greater awareness of the multiple benefits of global diversity and inclusion. Faculty members can also benefit from academic partnerships by participating in cross-border mobility and collaborative research.
