Created in 1937, Bellecour School comes out of the fold of the family of its founder. The private establishment trains more than 1200 students in the design and entertainment professions in its premises located in the heart of Lyon. Galileo Global Education is the largest private higher education group in Europe with more than 100,000 students in 80 campuses in 10 countries.
The Lyons school offers a bouquet of 24 programs forming many creative professions of design, digital, animation and video games, and at different levels of education (high school, preparatory class, bachelor, master) had already been the subject of many approaches. The school completed its last fiscal year on 7 million euros of turnover (last August) had, in view of its development projects (including a facility in Paris), growth prospects likely to lead to pass the € 10 million income in two years.
With 42 schools including Paris School of Business, Cours Florent, Strate and Atelier de Sèvres, the Italian School of Fashion and Design Istituto Marangoni, Macromedia University in Germany, the Institute of Management in Dakar, etc. the private education group was valued at around € 1 billion last year when Thetys Invest came on board, alongside the majority Providence Equity American fund, Bpifrance and the Abu Dhabi Mubadala sovereign wealth fund.
