University Direction

Recommended University Strategy

After our discussion, we've built this recommended strategy around what you told us. Your headline target is IE University's dual degree in Business Administration and Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence. The other schools below weren't on your radar yet — they're our recommendations. We advise building a balanced list of safety, match and reach schools (ESADE, ESCP, EDHEC, ESSEC, LUISS, CUNEF, Utrecht, Groningen and Tio Business School) so your applications are spread across different levels of selectivity.

We'll work with you across the whole academic year, tackling one element of your application at a time, from CV and personal statement through to school-specific essays, entrance exams, interviews and final submissions.

We looked for universities with:

English-taught business programmes with international student bodies
Strong corporate networks and career placement across Europe
Options that combine business with technology and AI, in line with your IE dual degree goal
Clear IBDP entry requirements and no extra standardised tests
Campuses and cultures that fit your preferences
