Ionian University was founded in 1984 in the city of Corfu, Greece, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a unique aesthetic, rich history, and multidimensional cultural tradition. It is the proud academic successor of the Ionian Academy, the first Greek University, which was founded and operated on the island of Corfu from 1824 until the union of the Ionian Islands with Greece in 1864.
Ionian University consists of five Faculties and twelve Departments, located not only on Corfu, but also on three other islands: Kefalonia, Zakynthos, and Lefkada. The subjects studied, and the curricula of the university Departments in the humanities, science, economics and the arts exhibit a notable degree of originality. Some of them are unique in Greece, complementing this originality with a high degree of interdisciplinarity.
The graduates of the University have brilliant academic and research prospects. Having a solid educational and research presence in the national and international academic and research world, Ionian University offers the necessary skills for a successful professional or academic career through its undergraduate studies, Master’s programs and several opportunities for doctoral and postdoctoral research.
