History

[edit]

IE (Instituto de Empresa) was founded in Madrid, Spain as a graduate professional school in business and law in 1973 with the goal of fostering an entrepreneurial environment through its various programs. Over the years, it established multiple international partnerships with other universities, such as a dual MBA with Brown University and an Asian-focused program run with Singapore Management University. IE University opened to undergraduates in 2006 and was established in Santa Maria la Real Convent after Instituto de Empresa Ltd. acquired Universidad S.E.K. (S.E.K. are the initials of San Estanislao de Kostka, Saint Stanislaus Kostka in English language), which was founded in 1997 and was owned by the Educational Institution SEK.[2] In 2004, the regulator, the Junta de Castilla y León approved the bylaws of the Universidad S.E.K.[3] On November 30, 2006, the Junta de Castilla y León authorised the partial sale of ownership of Universidad S.E.K. to Instituto de Empresa, S. L. (owner of the IE Business School). In 2007 the Junta approved the modification of the bylaws of the Universidad S.E.K.[4] In 2008 the name was changed from Universidad S.E.K. to IE Universidad in Spanish language, and the commercial name IE University in English language (IE being the initials of Instituto de Empresa). IE University began operations in September 2009 and its first class graduated in 2013.[5]

[edit]

IE University operates as the umbrella organization for six distinct schools.

  1. IE Business School, the largest school by volume of students, is also the oldest of the six. It was founded in 1973.[6]
  2. IE Law School serves as the main school for the undergraduate and graduate programs in law, as well as the center for the PPLE (Politics, Philosophy, Law, and Economics) Degree.
  3. IE School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs (known by students as SPEGA), the second largest school by volume of students, is the center for the undergraduate and graduate programs in International Relations, Political Science, and Economics.[7]

The presence of the IE campus in the city of Segovia has generated a great deal of criticism from different sectors of Segovia, such as the residents of the walled enclosure, businesses and associations of police and politicians who have come to ask for its expulsion.[10][11]

Among the main complaints are the exponential increase in rental prices in the city, which was the largest in Spain in 2023,[12][13] the continuous noise from parties,[14][15] attacks on police officers,[16][17][18] dumping of garbage on public roads[19] and the progressive expulsion of Segovians in the city old area in favor of students, illegally renting out the apartments as tourist flats.[20] There are several proposals for student residences to alleviate the rental problem, but with continuous delays and students' preference for private apartments.[21]

The IE University campus has a surface area of over 18,000 m/2.

Santa Cruz la Real Convent

[edit]
Facade of part of the university's old campus in Segovia

According to the Life of Saint Dominic of Guzman, the Convent of Santa Cruz was the first to be founded by the Order of Preachers in Spain in 1218, just two years after the creation of the mendicant order of the Dominicans. Diego de Colmenares, a 16th-century chronicler, adds that Saint Dominic did penance in a cave near the river to the north of the city, outside its walls and that he founded the order in this spot.

The order's dedication to the holy cross also originates from the early times of this community according to Colmenares and other 14th century documents.

In the fifteenth century the Catholic Monarchs, as King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were known, gave their patronage to the convent and this royal protection was what led it to be known as Santa Cruz “la Real”, i.e. the convent of the “Royal” Holy Cross. Although the city's institutions had played a part in the convent's development, the Dominicans were not a prosperous order until the Catholic Monarchs came to the throne, when they were given control of the Inquisition. The convent was rebuilt over the former 13th century Romanesque structure and the current church, with its monumental portal, was also erected under Friar Tomás de Torquemada, the first Grand Inquisitor and prior of the Holy Cross community.

The Dominican presence in the convent lasted until the monks were released from their religious vows as decreed by the minister Mendizábal in 1836. The convent then became a hospice and, until recent times, it was a nursing home for the elderly under the ownership of the Segovia Provincial Council. It has since undergone extensive renovation to house IE University.

Aula Magna

[edit]

The convent church was designed by fifteenth century Spanish architect Juan Guasa, and is a faithful example of late gothic architecture. It now serves as IE University's Aula Magna, being used for graduation ceremonies and conferences; it is never used for other key events.

Student Life

[edit]

Student Organizations

[edit]

IE University is home to over 100 student organizations such as the Art Club, IE Music Club, the IE Debate Club, and a leading regional chapter of the European Law Students' Association. Students are free to join clubs such as the Art Club, but may be required to submit applications (ELSA) or audition (Music Club).

Student Government

[edit]

Student government is held using a caucus system, where students vote for a group of students to represent them under one ballot ticket. The groups are usually around six, and campaign during the semester before they would take office. There are also various student boards, such as IE Law School's student Diversity and Inclusion Board.

Athletics

[edit]

IE University offers various athletics which compete at the club-level in and around Spain and Europe. Athletics vary from basketball to indoor soccer.

Enrollment grew steadily, with emphasis on fostering through small cohorts and industry partnerships, though early operations faced challenges from limited state recognition for private until regulatory reforms in the . By the early 2000s, had established a for entrepreneurship-focused programs, evidenced by alumni founding ventures and the school's early adoption of technologies. The transition to a full university began in 2006 when Instituto de Empresa acquired Universidad S.E.K., enabling the launch of undergraduate degrees at a new campus in Segovia's historic Convent of Santa Cruz la Real, a 13th-century site renovated for modern facilities. This move addressed demand for bachelor's-level education aligned with IE's business-centric model, starting with programs in business administration and international relations for an initial cohort of diverse, global students. IE University was formally constituted in 2008 as a private entity integrating the original business school with these expansions, marking the shift from specialized postgraduate institute to comprehensive university while retaining entrepreneurial governance.

Expansion into a Full University

In 2006, Instituto de Empresa (IE), originally focused on graduate since its founding in 1973, launched its first undergraduate programs, marking the initial step toward broadening its academic scope beyond postgraduate studies.

The following year, in 2007, Instituto de Empresa restructured into two distinct entities: IE Business School, retaining its focus on executive and MBA programs, and IE University, which assumed responsibility for undergraduate and emerging multidisciplinary offerings under the renamed S.E.K. framework. This separation enabled IE University to operate as a comprehensive , leveraging the pre-existing university of S.E.K. to award degrees across fields such as , , and , rather than remaining confined to business specialization.

Controversies and Critiques

Local Social Tensions and Economic Impacts

In , the presence of IE University has generated social tensions, manifested through and stickers proclaiming "IE Students Go Home" and "Stop ," first appearing on September 19, 2019, near the campus and spreading to sites like Casa de Los Picos and Puerta de San Cebrián. Local complaints frequently center on noise from student parties, particularly at the start of academic terms, with residents reporting disturbances that impair rest; a minority of the approximately 3,000 IE students are held responsible for issues in around 400 identified conflictive flats, though municipal sanctions have been limited to only 20 cases. Incidents such as a 2019 party at an IE student apartment resulting in injured police underscore perceptions of rowdy behavior, contributing to an image of students as "hooligans" among some locals. Integration challenges exacerbate these tensions, with students often described as living in a "bubble" confined to areas like IE-Acueducto-Alcázar, exhibiting limited interaction with Segovian culture and language barriers persisting even after years of residence; myths of extravagant lifestyles circulate, though many students rent modestly at 250-600 euros per . Opinions among vary: some deny of students, emphasizing mutual and cultural enrichment from the university's multicultural body, while others attribute problems to perceived municipal permissiveness and reduced police patrols in residential areas favoring tourist and student zones. Economically, IE University reports a substantial positive impact, with a study estimating over 450 million euros generated nationwide in 2023-2024, including nearly 7,000 jobs and contributing 18.1% to Segovia's services sector GDP; locally, students boost , taxis, and supermarkets through high spending power, revitalizing the historic center via property rehabilitations. However, critics question the localization of these benefits, arguing that national aggregates do not demonstrate specific gains for and overlook potential dependencies, such as economic fallout if the university departs. Student-driven housing demand has intensified affordability issues, with enrollment surging 480% from 424 in 2013/14 to 2,463 in 2022/23, leading to rent doublings in some cases (e.g., from 1,000 to 2,000 euros) and straining local access amid concerns; conversely, during the 2008 , student rentals helped stabilize the market by occupying vacant properties. While business leaders praise the influx for prosperity in and services, construction representatives warn of broader market pressures on residents.

Academic and Operational Criticisms

Criticisms of IE University's academic standards have centered on perceived insufficient rigor in and instruction. A published in May 2023 described the workload as "remarkably light" relative to peer institutions, with a shallow that allegedly stems from directives to professors to ease demands, potentially undermining graduates' development for professional environments. The same account highlighted an environment conducive to cheating and lacking intellectual stimulation, though such claims reflect individual experience rather than institutional metrics. These views contrast with the university's emphasis on practical, over traditional theoretical depth, which may prioritize employability but invite skepticism from those valuing depth in academic training. Operationally, IE University has been faulted for lax oversight in student governance, particularly election processes for student government roles. An investigative in the student newspaper The Stork in March 2023 detailed over 30 violations across from to 2023, encompassing offers, premature campaigning, unauthorized university promotions of candidates, and finance irregularities, such as a 2020 event featuring performer funded improperly. Despite formal complaints, administrative responses were limited to verbal warnings, with no disqualifications or structural reforms enforced, contributing to reduced student government budgets—from €150,000 in to €35,000 in 2023—and persistent vacancies in representative positions, signaling diminished institutional support for democratic processes. This pattern has fostered low engagement, exemplified by only three online viewers for the 2023 debate.

Student testimonials highlight the value of this diversity in building interpersonal skills and understanding global dynamics, though some reviews note a predominantly capitalist and career-focused atmosphere that prioritizes networking over casual socializing. Daily experiences vary by campus location. At the Segovia campus, housed in a historic 13th-century monastery, students describe a serene and focused environment conducive to study, with routines involving morning classes, collaborative group projects, and afternoon explorations of the surrounding historic city. In contrast, the Madrid campus, centered around the modern IE Tower, integrates urban vibrancy into student life, where days often include lectures, networking events, and access to city amenities, blending academic rigor with metropolitan social opportunities. Across both sites, the "Liquid Learning" model allows flexible blending of in-person and online elements, enabling students to manage workloads through structured planning, typically involving 4-6 hours of daily classes supplemented by self-study and extracurricular commitments. Campus Life, the university's hub, structures much of the extracurricular rhythm, organizing over 1,500 events annually and supporting more than 150 student-led clubs focused on , cultural integration, and professional skills.

Community engagement occurs primarily through student clubs like the Charity and SDG Club, which organizes annual volunteer fairs partnering with local Segovia organizations for service projects, such as environmental cleanups and social aid initiatives. These activities, held on October 9, 2024, for instance, connect students with regional nonprofits, though scale is modest compared to core academic functions and occurs amid noted local tensions unrelated to or wellness.
