Student review [#15301] for International Relations
at IE University

IE University is dedicated to its students from the very beginning of their journey with IE. The staff is ready to help the students in any way they possibly can. From answering questions during the application process to helping to find internships and jobs after graduation. During the academic year, they are willing to help us in case of difficult situations and to adapt if needed.

Moreover, this university is incredibly international with students from all over the world, allowing each of us to see different perspectives from different cultures and countries. It also allows us to have friends from all over the world which is very enriching. For example, in the BIR (Bachelor of International Relations) it’s common to have over 30 different nationalities in the same classroom.

Aside the academics, a large range of clubs allow to practice multiple activities like cooking, sports, music, theater, debates etc.. Multiple events are also organized to create a sense of community among the student body, it includes parties, trips, IE days and many more events throughout the year.

IE also offers a large range of services for the well being of the students, a mentorship society allows incoming students to have a mentor to guide them. There’s also a mentoring and counselling service aiming to help with any personal or academic difficulty and it offers free sessions with professional psychologists if needed.

Finally, during the COVID-19 crisis, the university first created a hybrid system overnight with cameras inside classrooms to continue classes with students at home and in class at the same time. Later, the whole system moved to exclusively online and despite some few technical problems related to the speed all the decisions were taken, globally the system works very well.

As a whole, I love this university and I would do exactly the same choice if I had to do it again.
