The Ionian University was founded in 1984, the same year as the University of Thessaly and the University of the Aegean. The university comprises five faculties and twelve departments. Its seat is in Corfu, with university units in Lefkada, Kefalonia and Zakynthos.
Apart from the courses offered, one of the basic aims of the Ionian University is to support academic research and the production of knowledge. The University provides every means available for the promotion of these activities, either drawing on its own financial resources or using national and European funds.
The Operational Programme for Education and Initial Vocational Training (O.P. Education) for instance, finances the acquisition of specialised technical research equipment for libraries, laboratories etc., supports postgraduate programmes, as well as special lectures and seminars, thus opening new roads to original and at times truly innovative research.
The Ionian University Library , an autonomous and decentralized service, is a unified library in terms of function and logic.
It aims to support and promote the teaching, educational, and research activities that take place within the respective graduate and postgraduate programmes of the University Departments.
Undergraduate and postgraduate students that have no have medical and hospital care, are entitled to full medical and hospital care only with the use of their AMKA (Social Security number). In that case, please ask at the Corfu hospital.

Great professors always eager to help during and after your studies
IONIAN UNIVERSITY is a place that not a lot of students expect to be offered something more than the bare minimum. I was happily surprised to be proven wrong. The depertment of history, which i graduated from, follows a "homo universalis" mindset in its studies, providing its students with curses of many historical eras and subjects of interest.
