Why France Is Emerging as the Smarter Choice for Indian Students: OMNES Education

For decades, Indian students aspiring to study abroad have traditionally looked westward towards the United States, the United Kingdom, or Canada. But the landscape is shifting. France is rapidly emerging as the smarter choice, combining globally recognised education, affordability, career opportunities, and cultural richness. At the heart of this momentum stands OMNES Education, a private multidisciplinary institution with 15 schools, 19 campuses worldwide, and over 40,000 students.

About OMNES Education

OMNES Education, formerly known as INSEEC U., is one of France’s largest private university networks with a strong global presence. Headquartered in France, the group spans 10 campuses worldwide from Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Chambéry, and Monaco to international hubs like London, Geneva, Shanghai, San Francisco, and Abidjan.

With 15 specialised schools, OMNES Education brings together a community of 40,000 students, nearly a third of whom are international, alongside a network of 200,000 alumni across the globe. Its academic strength lies in the breadth of programs —115 programs at the levels of Bachelors, Masters (including Grande École and non-Grande École), MBAs, PhDs, and diplomas.

Students benefit from the expertise of 345 faculty members, 800 industry lecturers, and close ties with 1,500 partner companies and 515 global universities.

Unlike traditional grandes écoles, which focus narrowly on business, OMNES provides a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary education.

Specialisations in Luxury & Wine, Sports, Real Estate, Health, and Digital Innovation add to OMNES’s distinct appeal.

OMNES Education bridges management, technology, politics, and creativity — equipping Indian students for global careers.
