IEU Labs are IE University’s alternative to traditional work placements. They provide hands-on, internship-like experience on campus to first and second year students that wish to start gaining professional practice. There are many IEU Labs for you to choose from, and by joining one you will not only get to build your professional profile and gain valuable practical knowledge of different sectors, but you will also have direct contact with managers and directors of leading companies, extending your professional network.
Fully-tutored working spaces where students develop professional projects and work closely with companies and institutions. An excellent opportunity for students who want a hands-on experience, to acquire interdisciplinary knowledge and professional skills.

From the Talent & Careers department, we would like to reinforce the importance of the experience that students can gain while participating in the LABs provided by IE University. Early contact with the business world is highly valued by recruiters, and in many cases, Lab experience marks the difference in the selection processes of companies looking for interns during students’ senior academic years.
The Lab experience allows students to start structuring a professional career, giving them the opportunity to gain real experience in companies, which will be of great value in IEU students’ professional development.
Thank you for the incredible work you have done, the professionalism and the degree of depth in the project you have dealt with. It has been a great pleasure for me to work with this team, and I hope that this will be something that will be continued each year.
