What is the Pre-Math Summer Program?

The Pre-Math Summer Program is a free complementary training course that offers a phenomenal opportunity for students to refresh their math skills while getting to know the university campus. In order to prepare for your first year at IE University, we strongly recommend to all students who feel their skills in solving mathematical problems faded away during the summer and want to start their Bachelor in Business Administration

at IE University with more selfconfidence and a renewed insight in the relevant mathematical knowledge to enroll into the Pre-Math Summer Course. This course is not intended to replace a Math’s course at high school nor to eliminate a Math deficiency.

This course does, however, ensure that your math skills will be up to date. Additional Math tutorials will be offered throughout the first semester to ensure optimal support for you.
