Student review [#96213] for Behavioral and Social Sciences
at IE University

The university is one big business, rarely do they put the needs of the students first as they try to make as much money out of you. Choosing electives, Labs, and seminars is done through such an unorganised, careless way, that you rarely end up with the class you want, and the university doesn’t really care. AN 80% attendance policy which does nothing more than scare students, with little leniency even with a valid excuse or doctors note. The professors are good but the administration and the way that they are just trying to pump out as many corporate ready young adults has given me an impression that they dont care for the welfare of their students.

They love the image of being innovative and forward thinking yet this ultimately just manifests itself through tedious technological processes and countless issues. Face ID´s dont work getting in or out of uni, there are no printers available despite our need for them. There is huge bureaucracy around the company and so getting anything done or setting up any initiative as a student ends up being more of a hassle than a motivating experience. It’s hard to find where to book an individual advisor session with the Careers department despite all their adverting, which only makes the department seem more elusive and confusing.

Good uni I guess but student support is really lacking. It doesn’t seem that they care that much either.
