What you will learn
The programme combines history, philosophy and art with tools such as coding, algorithmic thinking and data analysis. Its aim is to develop critical thinking alongside practical ways to explore and communicate complex ideas.
Could this course suit you?
If you enjoy reading widely, discussing different perspectives and making connections between subjects, take a closer look at the curriculum. Think about the questions you return to outside class: they can be a helpful guide when comparing a broad humanities course with a more specialised degree.
Applying
The undergraduate process includes an online application, an admission test or accepted alternative, and an online assessment. An interview may be requested. You will also need to meet the academic requirements for your school system and provide the required evidence of English. IE now uses published application rounds, so plan around the deadline for your chosen round.
Two cities, one degree
The first two years are in Segovia and the final two in Madrid. Include that move in your housing and travel plans; accommodation costs may change between the two stages. Our Spain study guide helps you build a fuller picture of student life and expenses.
