It is extremely important that you manage the timing of your application carefully and submit a complete application.
IE Business School operates on a ROLLING ADMISSIONS PROCESS. As such, there is NO EXPLICIT DEADLINE for applications for a particular intake.
However, given the limited number of places in the program and the diverse student body, we recommend that you initiate the application process as far in advance as possible, roughly one year in advance of the desired program intake. This is especially important if you plan on applying for a scholarship as only accepted students may apply for a scholarship.
Once the application form has been assessed, candidates may be called to interview, which may be done, on campus, at an admissions event, or by phone should you be unable to see us in person. It is recommended the interview be conducted in person as it is an integral part of the admissions process.
The interview examines the data provided in the application in greater detail and determines whether the candidate's profile will stand him or her in good stead for the content and demands of the program.
Following the interview, each application will be subject to a final review by the Admissions Committee, evaluating all aspects of each candidate as a whole.
Candidates will be notified of the Committee's decision after this final review.
Admission is valid for two years and is granted to candidates on the basis that IE Business School considers that they have the right profile to achieve success in the program.
Admission does not automatically guarantee a place within the next intake, however to secure a place within a specific intake, the place reservation must be made. Please refer the Place Reservation section within Payment Information for more detail.
