IONIS School of Technology and Management (IONIS STM) is a French private graduate school,[1] part of the IONIS Education Group. The school offers instruction in information technology, computer science, energy, biotechnology and management.[2]
It was established in 2009 in Ivry-sur-Seine.[3][4]
A special feature of the school is to admit students who are holders of a Bachelor, a Master or a Ph.D.[10]
History
In 2002, Grande écoleEPITA established specialization programs known as Mastères EPITA, which later led to the creation of a standalone school for these specializations and their expansion into new sectors after 7 years.
Curriculum
The course is two years long for students with a Bachelor's degree. The school also admits students with two years of education following high school, or students with a master's degree. If the student does not have a Bachelor's degree and has had two years of education, they are required to take a "preparatory year" in addition to the course. The preparatory year is a general course in management and computer science covering topics in the four areas of specialization below, and ends with a three-month long internship.[2] After a Bachelor's degree, students specialize in one of four areas: information technology, computer science, energy, and biotechnology. From October to June, the students follow an academic program and then take part in a six-month long internship.[10]
