IE University, Private university with campus in Segovia and Madrid, Spain
IE University is a private institution with two locations: one housed in a former convent in Segovia and another in a modern tower within Madrid's Cuatro Torres Business Area. Both sites accommodate academic programs ranging from undergraduate to postgraduate studies.
The institution began as IE Business School in 1973 and later expanded by acquiring Universidad S.E.K in Segovia in 2006. This merger transformed it from a specialized business school into a broader university offering multiple fields of study.
The university brings together around 6,000 students from over 130 countries across its two campuses, with instruction in both English and Spanish. This international environment shapes daily campus life, where people from different backgrounds study and work together.
The Segovia campus is housed in a 16th-century Benedictine monastery with good accessibility though situated in a historic area. The Madrid campus occupies a modern high-rise building that is easily accessible by public transportation.
The Segovia campus houses the Aula Magna, a late Gothic hall originally designed for religious and academic ceremonies that now hosts conferences. This architectural gem often goes unnoticed by casual visitors, despite being one of the most striking spaces on the grounds.
