Why you belong at IE University

The global pandemic forced us to put a lot of things on hold—your education, however,  shouldn’t be one of them. With innovation at the core, we have gone above and beyond to implement health protocols to ensure that our campus is safer than ever before.

Your health is as important as your university experience, and We Are Ready highlights the measures we are taking and highlights the latest news on what’s going on around you. The required use of our COVID-19 Tracer Web App keeps us updated on your health and the health of those with whom you’ve been in contact. Rapid antigen testing, thermographic cameras, staggered schedules and seating, and the mandatory use of masks provide an additional layer of protection to anyone who steps on campus.
