University's own test
There is an entrance exam. The IE Admissions Test is taken online, only in English and only once; it measures verbal, logical and numerical skills and lasts about 1.5–2 hours. SAT 1300+ or ACT 28+ is accepted instead; applicants to Science & Technology programmes who submit the SAT need at least 700 in Math. Computer Science and AI and Data and Business Analytics add a 60-minute Mathematics Assessment (algebra, linear algebra, calculus, geometry, probability and statistics). Next come an online assessment with video and written questions and a personal interview; the Admissions Committee decides after a holistic review. Non-native English speakers need a certificate: TOEFL 100+, IELTS 7+, Cambridge C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency, Duolingo 130.
The test can be taken only once, and only after at least 25% of the application is completed and the application fee is paid. IE does not take foundation years into account when assessing eligibility.
Total duration: from one-and-a-half to two hours, including reading the instructions and completing the practice problems. 02. ATTEMPTS The IE University Admissions Test may only be taken once. 03.

Applications are reviewed in rounds with the same deadlines for all programmes; the round is set by the submission date and cannot be chosen. 2027/2028 cycle: Early Round — by 18 September 2026 (decision by 23 October 2026; this deadline has passed), Round 1 — by 6 November 2026 (decision by 11 December 2026), Round 2 — by 15 January 2027 (decision by 19 February 2027), Round 3 — by 5 March 2027 (decision by 23 April 2027). After Round 3, applications may be considered from May 2027 if places remain. Earlier rounds usually have more capacity and more financial aid options, and leave more time for the visa and housing.
Key documents (transcripts, predicted grades) must be submitted before the round deadline, otherwise the application may be moved to a later round. The English certificate can be submitted later, but the final decision is issued only after it. A No Admission decision is final for the whole cycle.
The deadlines defined for each round are global and apply to all Undergraduate Degrees in the same way.T-ie-globalAll candidates are included in the corresponding round, depending on the date of submission of their application.

IE is recognised by the Spanish Government, and official enrolment requires meeting Ministry of Education requirements. Graduates of other education systems need homologation of their certificate to the Spanish Bachillerato. Before applying, the certificate and its transcript are apostilled and translated into Spanish by a sworn translator registered in Spain. Homologation can take several months, but students can enrol provisionally with proof of application. IE recommends letting its Admissions Department handle the process. Legal-access documents must reach IE Admissions in Madrid or Segovia before 15 October. The application itself needs transcripts for at least the last two years; if they are in Russian, an English translation is attached (an official one only if requested).
Without homologation a student is not considered official and risks expulsion. The page does not say which year the 15 October deadline refers to.
