IONIS School of Technology and Management

IONIS School of Technology and Management (IONIS STM) is a French private graduate school, part of the IONIS Education Group. The school offers instruction in information technology, computer science, energy, biotechnology and management. It was established in 2009 in Ivry-sur-Seine.

The school offers a Master of Business Administration recognized by French government  and teaches both technical and management aspects.

A special feature of the school is to admit students who are holders of a Bachelor, a Master or a Ph.D.

History
In 2002, Grande école EPITA 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. 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.
