#6 IE Business School

IE University

Based in Madrid, IE focuses on international business and draws students from all over the world – 92% of the 2020 class hail from outside of Spain. The program starts with a Core Business Period where students choose between four labs — the Business Impact Lab, Start-up Lab, Tech Lab, Social Impact Lab — or an International MBA. The humanities are an integral part of IE’s identity and are mandatory in the program. The school’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center holds its own incubator space, Area 31, which hosts

dozens of start-up teams each year. The program culminates in a final Integrative Exercise in front of a faculty jury. Students choose between a final case study, an Impact Project with a company or a Venture Lab Project.
