On-Campus Internships with IEU Labs

IEU Labs offer students a hands-on experience in working within consultancy teams across a range of fields, from design to finance, helping them gain professional insights and industry skills. Through these labs, IE University—a globally respected institution—enables students to strengthen their expertise in a unique, supportive learning environment. The IEU Labs function similarly to internships, providing practical learning experiences outside the classroom and enabling students to build professional networks with industry leaders.

Each IEU Lab serves as a fully supervised workspace where students tackle real projects in collaboration with companies and organizations. This setup allows them to enhance their professional profiles and practical knowledge, as well as to connect directly with senior industry professionals, building a valuable network.

These Labs are open to students across all programs, with a focus on first- and second-year students. During the second semester, students work in their chosen labs for 4-6 hours per week, continuing through the end of June, for a total of five months. Enrollment is limited to one Lab per year, and participation earns students 3 ECTS credits at no extra cost.
