History

In January 2007, IE (Instituto de Empresa) acquired SEK University in Segovia with the aim of creating IE University. The main University campus buildings are housed by the former Convent of Santa Cruz la Real, a 13th century building, restored in the 15th century and declared a national heritage site in 1931.

Location

The University campus is a five-minute walk from the Aqueduct of Segovia, by the river Eresma and just outside the city walls that surround the old quarter of Segovia.
