Beginning Wednesday, July 1 at 8:30 a.m. Central Time, you will not be able to log in or create an account while we transition to our new student portal. Access is expected to be restored by the end of the day on Monday, July 6.

If you have started any forms in your MyIESabroad student portal, please complete and submit them by end of day Tuesday, June 30. Submitted forms will carry over automatically. Any forms that are started but not submitted by June 30 will not transfer—but don't worry, you'll still have access to the same forms in the new portal on July 6.

For more details, please review our student system upgrade information. Want a heads-up when the new portal is live? Fill out our interest form. Thank you for your patience during this transition. We're excited to welcome you into the new portal and continue supporting you every step of the way.

Ángel López

Head of Student Affairs, IES Abroad Madrid

Ángel was born in a small town in Switzerland and moved with his family to Jaén, Andalusia, at the age of 5. He spent his early years in Jaén before relocating to Valencia at 14, where he pursued a degree in Information Sciences, specializing in Advertising and Public Relations. After completing his studies, Ángel moved to Ireland, where he improved his English and gained a deeper understanding of Irish culture. A passionate learner of languages and cultures, he speaks English, some Italian, German, Valencian, and his native Spanish. 

In 2003, he returned to Madrid and, after holding various jobs, found his dream role with IES Abroad Madrid. For the past 21 years, he has been welcoming students with a smile and the same enthusiasm as on his first day, holding various positions in Customized and Student Affairs departments.
