IE Business School MiM Fees 2026

IE Business School's Master in Management ranks 7th globally in the QS Business Masters Rankings 2026 — its strongest ranking position and the highest QS placement of any Spanish-headquartered MiM. On the Financial Times Masters in Management 2025 ranking, the IE MiM sits at 27th. The divergence is meaningful and worth understanding before applying. QS weights employer reputation, alumni outcomes, value for money, and diversity; the FT methodology weights weighted three-year salary, salary increase, international course experience, and career service rank more heavily. IE performs strongly on the QS criteria and less strongly on FT's salary metrics, which reflect the programme's larger cohort and Spanish base salaries.

The all-in figure for the current cycle is about €51,200 for the full 15-month programme — €50,000 in tuition plus the one-time €1,200 IE Foundation contribution (a €150 application fee applies separately). IE reviews tuition each year, so confirm the current number on the school's admissions-and-fees page. Living costs in Madrid typically run €12,000–€18,000 per year — moderate by European-capital standards. IE offers a portfolio of merit and need-based scholarships covering up to a substantial share of tuition; the IE Foundation, country-specific funds (notably for Latin American, African, and Asian candidates), and corporate sponsorships are all part of the funding ecosystem.

Yes — IE operates rolling admissions rather than fixed competitive rounds. Applications are reviewed continuously, with decisions typically issued within four to six weeks of submission. The illustrative cut-offs for the September 2027 intake are 15 November 2026 (early consideration), 15 February 2027 (R2), and 15 May 2027 (R3), but candidates can apply at any point. Earlier applications carry the usual advantages of larger seat availability and earlier scholarship visibility.

Technology is the largest single destination at around 22% of placements, followed by consulting (21%) and finance (20%). Retail and marketing/media round out the top five sectors. Top recruiters by hiring volume include Deloitte, Amazon, Accenture, PwC, McKinsey, BCG, Salesforce, L'Oréal, Uber, Meta, Nike, and Mercedes-Benz. The employment rate at three months post-graduation was 88% in the most recent class, with weighted three-year salary on the FT 2025 ranking reported at US $95,000.

The most prominent dual-degree path is the IE Master in Management plus the IE Master in Finance — a two-year programme delivered across Madrid and IE's New York campus (IENYC). Other dual-degree configurations pair the MiM with IE's Master in International Development, Master in Visual & Digital Media, or Master in Marketing. Dual degrees extend the calendar by approximately 9 months and carry an incremental fee.
