What you will study
The English-taught curriculum brings philosophy, political science, law and economics together. Later study develops the introductory foundations, and the programme describes fourth-year exchange opportunities.
Interests and opportunities
The combination may support interests in policy, analysis, consulting or further study. It is particularly worth comparing with a single-subject degree if you value breadth and enjoy examining an issue through several perspectives.
Admission and budgeting
Use IE’s undergraduate admissions process and submit the academic and English-language evidence requested for your background. Decide which Madrid/Segovia pathway suits your plans.
