What it is

Studied entirely in Segovia, the programme is built around design studios that copy the way a firm or agency works, plus a Fab Lab for digital fabrication and a bio lab for materials. Alongside core architecture courses you take modules in design entrepreneurship, experimentation and management. In the second semesters of years two, three and four you work in studios, magazines, museums, NGOs or architecture firms around the world, and an optional diploma in product, graphic or interior design can be added. The degree leads to the one-year master's in architecture needed for professional licensure in Spain and across the European Union.

What you need

  • Full IB Diploma, first-sitting results only. Most admits score 34–45 (student average 36). IE's own test (or SAT, ACT, LNAT) and an interview.
