Admission process | IE University

KIRA Assessment

As a tech-forward institution, we use virtual assessment as part of our rigorous admissions process.

The Kira assessment allows the admissions team to get a sense of your unique personality and potential before proceeding to an interview. This is your chance to shine and show us your potential.

Completing the assessment is simple—you will be given three questions to answer in a set amount of time. One of your responses will be written, and two will be recorded via video. The whole process should only take 20 to 30 minutes to complete.

You will need a computer with an internet connection, and a functioning webcam and microphone. The system allows for unlimited practice sessions before answering each of the three official questions. However, you only have one chance to record your official answers.

Shortly after submitting your application and paying your admission fee, you will receive an email with instructions.
