Madrid in the evening

IE Business School's campus is situated in the heart of Madrid, placing all that the city- Spain’s capital and a global business hub- has to offer right on its doorstep. Madrid has an immensely rich cultural heritage like no other in the world. The city boasts a host of museums, parks and gardens, palaces, modern and historic architecture, as well as providing an invaluable opportunity to learn one of the world’s principal business languages- Spanish.

Finding accommodation can be a difficult and time consuming task. The IE Student Office has developed an extensive database of available housing. Whilst the school does not guarantee the standard of the accommodation, it does provide a valuable resource as the database itself is searchable and many of the properties are offered under favorable circumstances (often not requiring a guarantor for example, usually a significant obstacle when searching for accommodation in Madrid). If you prefer to share, there is also a housing forum for you to get in touch with other students looking for a roommate. All these tools and some other recommendations are available on Campus Online once you are enrolled at IE.

IE's annual Global Village,

-Social and Leisure Activities (Including national clubs, the IE Partners' Club, Gourmet Club, IE Out, and Bar of the Week etc.)

These events and clubs present students with a great opportunity to network outside of class, and meet people that they may not otherwise meet within the classroom. These events and clubs are not open only to IE's students, but to their families as well. The Partner's Club in particular is geared towards ensuring that family members or partners get the most out of the IE Experience.
