IE’s Science & Technology Dual Degrees in Spain
If you’re the kind of student who enjoys both big-picture thinking and deep problem-solving, a traditional “one-track” undergraduate path can feel limiting. IE School of Science and Technology is built for the opposite: ambitious, curious people who want to combine disciplines, challenge themselves early and graduate with a profile that stands out in a tech-driven world.
Why a Dual Degree makes sense (especially in tech)
A Dual Degree isn’t a minor, a concentration, or a “nice-to-have” extra. The point is structural: you graduate with two fully accredited undergraduate degrees, which gives you a rare blend of skills and a professional identity that doesn’t fit into a single box. IE University frames this model as part of its Dual Degrees offering, aligned with the European Higher Education framework.
For students who want to lead in technology, data, innovation, or quantitative strategy, that combination matters. The future doesn’t reward people who only understand one side of the equation: it rewards those who can connect business decisions to data, AI systems to real-world needs and mathematical models to economic reality.
Three roads awaiting you in Spain
IE University offers three undergraduate Dual Degrees designed for students who want a fully international experience in Spain:
- Duration: 5 years
- Language: English
- Mode: Full-time, in-person
- Intake: September 2026
- Campus options: Segovia and/or Madrid (depending on program)
Now, the interesting part: the three paths inside IE School of Science and Technology’s Dual Degree offer.
1) Dual Degree in Business Administration & Data and Business Analytics.
This program is designed for people who don’t just want to “learn data”, but desire to use it to shape strategy, understand markets, and influence organizations. The emphasis is on becoming fluent in analytics while building the business acumen to communicate insights, justify choices and lead outcomes. IE highlights a hands-on approach: learning concepts and applying them through projects grounded in real scenarios, aiming to build graduates who can adapt to fast-moving trends.
One student story captures the mindset well: Samer Roz, a Dual Degree student, chose the program because he wanted to bring “business and new and evolving technology together” and because the “five years for two degrees” logic felt straightforward.
In the video below, he also draws a parallel between teamwork in music and sports, an unexpectedly perfect metaphor for how data and business works in the real world.

If you see yourself as: analytical, collaborative, curious about how organizations actually run, this is the dual degree that trains that “translator” profile companies actively need.
2) Dual Degree in Business Administration & Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
This is the program for students who want to be close to the technology itself: software, systems, AI, while also developing the business instincts to guide it strategically. IE University positions it as a cutting-edge combination aimed at thriving in a tech-dominated landscape, blending business knowledge with technical expertise. A practical detail that matters when choosing your student life: you can study in Segovia and Madrid, with a structure that allows starting in Segovia (then moving to Madrid later) or studying in Madrid. IE frames clear outcomes for this dual degree, pointing to paths such as entrepreneur, blockchain developer, consultant, machine learning engineer and digital environment strategist.
If you’re looking for a degree that keeps you technical enough to understand (and build) what’s next, but broad enough to help you lead teams, products, and decisions, this is the most “future-proof leadership” option of the three.
3) Dual Degree in Economics & Applied Mathematics
Economics shapes how the world allocates resources. Applied mathematics shapes how the world models uncertainty, systems and outcomes. Put them together and you get a profile built for high-level analytical work: forecasting, modeling, optimization, policy analysis, quantitative strategy: the kinds of roles that require more than surface-level numeracy.
IE presents this program as one that harnesses the “combined power” of both fields, studying their intersections so students can apply theory to tangible situations.
If you’re the student who enjoys precision, structure, and ambitious intellectual challenge, this is your dual degree.
Choosing your track
All three programs are built around a shared idea: tech and innovation don’t live in one department anymore. They sit at the intersection of disciplines, and the students who thrive are the ones who can connect them.
