TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT
IE, FOUR DECADES OF INNOVATION
IE Business School opens its doors in Madrid’s
business district offering MBA programs. At the
same time, the Master of Laws LL.M. and the Master
in Legal Consultancy are launched. A few years later,
IE Law School is officially inaugurated, broadening
the academic offer of legal programs.
1973: IE is born
Expansion of new departments and partnerships
A few years later, IE embarks on the creation of new
departments, such as the Alumni Association and the Centre
for Entrepreneurship, one of the cornerstones of the school’s
innovative spirit. Later the IE International Advisory Board is
created, alongside the IE Foundation and the IE Fund, with
headquarters in the United States to promote research and
the awarding of scholarships. Finally, the Business Leadership
Forum is born to collect and group different points of view and
knowledge from important figures in the political, economic and
business world.
The 80’s
Expansion of international presence
IE expands its international presence by opening development
offices worldwide. Today IE has 28 international offices in
different countries.
Promotion of new trends through innovation and diversity
The first Blended programs are launched, placing IE at
the forefront of e-learning in Europe and accelerating the
internationalization of the school. IE starts to participate in joint
activities, such as the Sumaq Alliance with leading Latin American
schools, and establishes agreements with other institutions, such
as a collaboration with Brown University in the United States, from
which the IE Brown Executive MBA program was born.
Growth and consolidation of worldwide recognition
At present, IE enjoys agreements and collaborations with
around 100 prestigious schools in Europe, the United States,
Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The 90’s

are rooted in the innovative and entrepreneurial model for
which IE enjoys international prestige. Students also benefit
from access to a unique faculty.

500 professors to take on the teaching of a student body
comprised of over 90 nationalities among our degree, Master,
PhD and Executive Education programs. We already have

You can personalize your program by adding to the core study plan complimentary courses, seminars, internships and IEU Labs, the sum of which is a well-balanced degree program.
IEU Labs and InternshipsIE Labs are IE University’s alternative to
traditional internships. Designed specifically
for first and second year students seeking
high level internship placements, the IE Labs
provide hands-on, internship-like experience
on campus, working on projects for leading
companies and institutions in a variety of
sectors. Additionally, students can also
carry out internships, by working in different
sectors and gaining professional skills as well
as an international profile, both highly valued
by employers.

School’s Venture Lab, where they can pitch

Days and turn their ideas into reality.
Final Degree ProjectThe Final Degree Project is a major part of
the fourth year’s curriculum. Students choose
their topic with a faculty and are guided by
their advisor, drawing upon the knowledge
the student has gained from specific
academic areas and internships or IE Labs
projects which the student carried out during
their degree program.
Advanced SeminarsAdvanced Seminars complement the core
degree by giving students deeper knowledge
of subjects in their major area of study, and
enable students to integrate other fields of
study into their program.
