The first group
Founded in 1980 by Marc Sellam, IONIS Education Group is now France’s leading private higher education group. 29 schools and entities in 27 cities in France and abroad, bringing together over 35,000 students in business, marketing, communication, management, finance, IT, digital, aeronautics, energy, transport, biotechnology and design…
The IONIS Group’s mission is to train the New Intelligences of today’s and tomorrow’s companies. An international outlook, a keen sense of innovation and entrepreneurship, a genuine culture of adaptability and change: these are the key values taught to future graduates of the Group’s schools. They will become key players in tomorrow’s economy, joining our alumni networks which together represent over 100,000 members.
A state of mind
embodying contemporary teaching
It’s an advantage that goes beyond structural realities: it’s a state of mind shared around a common vision and strong values:
- the importance given to human and practical acquisitions, not just the assimilation of knowledge, because a school is also a place to consolidate one’s personality,
- the importance of learning to adapt, analyzing changes and mastering new situations,
- constant openness to international markets, business dynamics, innovation and creativity, initiative and entrepreneurship.
The IONIS Group embodies contemporary education, because it is in tune with the worlds and transformations that surround it. Better understanding families, students and young people, and better integrating changes in our societies, is a duty that IONIS Education Group must exercise to remain relevant and effective.

THE IONIS GROUP IN 27 CAMPUSES IN FRANCE AND ABROAD
Since its creation, the Group has followed a particular model: to be multiple, decentralized and at the heart of several cities.
On the one hand, regionalization is central to its development: a student from the provinces cannot necessarily study in Paris for five years.
On the other hand, the regions are becoming real economic metropolises that go beyond the borders of France.
