The IE is ranked among the best five business schools in Europe and the top 15 in the world by respected newspapers and journals that include the Financial Times, The Economist and The Wall Street Journal.

IE University has its main campus in the former convent of Santa Cruz la Real de Segovia (declared a historic monument in 1931). Here students have access to classrooms, workshops, drawing workshops, laboratories, radio and television studios, conference rooms and common rooms where the latest technology has been integrated into buildings that date back to the fifteenth century. The University’s hall of residence, Reyes Católicos, is also on campus and ensures that students who are not resident in Segovia adapt fully to university life.

Students receive support through individual interviews and a close monitoring of their progress in all aspects of their development: grants, specialist courses and postgraduate programs, trips and other extracurricular activities, and in particular work experience placements. - The University runs an active careers and employment centre and an international network made up of its former students.
