The IE MBA
IE University, formerly called Instituto de Empresa, is an independent school established in 1973 and located in central Madrid. The school offers several MBA programs in different formats (full time on campus, part-time, online and blended), with the option of studying in English or Spanish.
With a risk-taking and boundary-breaking entrepreneurial foundation, IE is a school that looks to the future. IE Business School makes things happen. From Bachelors to Doctorates, their programs draw on market trends to provide fresh-out-of-the-box education using innovative methodologies.
The school’s student population is characterized by relatively older age, variety in terms of nationality and ethnic background, and a strong international orientation (over 90% hail from outside of Spain).
At IE Business School there’s no churning degrees out or run-of-the-mill education. “Everything we stand for and everything we do, from the tip-top quality of our forward-thinking professors to the crisp, up-to-date content of our programs, is designed to take you to your ambition’s door. Key in hand”.
The programs are medium-sized and known for their main strengths in entrepreneurship, international management, and information technology. The program’s strong emphasis on entrepreneurship is demonstrated through the events and conferences organized by the school in cooperation with entrepreneurs and leaders from around the world.
In terms of the admissions process, the school employs rolling admissions deadlines and allows students to take its own admissions exam instead of the GMAT. An offer of admission is valid for the program’s next two starting dates, meaning an accepted candidate can choose whether to start on the starting date for which he or she applied or the following one.
Among the program’s alumni are the following individuals who held (or currently hold) the positions written in the parentheses: Richard Alden (CEO of ONO), Claudio Aguirre (former CEO of Merrill Lynch), Gerard Gross (President of Daimler Chrysler in Spain).
