    Admissions

    The various stages of our admission process are aimed at identifying those areas of your academic and personal profile that make you unique and make sure that you fit in with our educational model.

    At IE, we don’t have a specific deadline for admission into any of our programs. We have a rolling admissions policy, which means that you can apply to IE University at any time of the year. However, given the limited number of places in the programs and the diverse student body, it is highly recommended you present your application several months prior to program commencement.

    The admission process is divided into five main phases:

    • Online Application & Supporting Documents
    • Admission Test
    • Online Assessment
    • Personal Interview
    • Final Committee Decision

    We recommend that you register for our upcoming events (open house, virtual sessions) so that you can receive information on all our degrees, read about our methodology, and air any questions you may have.

    Scholarships and Funding

    Studying at IE is an investment of time, effort, and financial resources. To help students manage the funding of their program, IE Financial Aid provides access to scholarships and student loan programs. Financial aid applications are received on a rolling basis, but certain scholarships do have specific deadlines. It is strongly recommended to apply as soon as possible, funds are limited, and therefore the closer the intake is, the lower the number of funds available.

    To request financial aid, it is necessary to complete our online form available at https://www.ie.edu/financial-aid/ once the admissions form has been submitted and always prior to the start of the program.

    Program Admission Requirements

    Demonstrate your commitment and readiness to succeed in business school by taking the GMAT exam – the most widely used exam for admissions that measures your critical thinking and reasoning skills. Download the GMAT mini quiz to get a flavour of the questions you’ll find in the exam.
