Personal Interview

Once you have completed the previous steps, the Admissions Committee will review your application and determine whether you can advance to the final interview phase. The Admissions Committee is made up of university staff members who will assess your suitability as a candidate.

The Admissions Department interviews are reserved for those who have successfully completed the first steps and demonstrated their excellence as a potential student of IE University.

The interview will allow us to get to know you better, and further assess certain qualities, such as your personality, capacity for critical thinking, method of self expression, passion and commitment. Our objective is to gauge your potential and fit into the program as a part of IE University, developing a mutually beneficial and enriching relationship both personally and academically. We want to see the strong personal qualities that make you stand out.
