# Top 35 Higher Education companies in Tunisia

Tamtam tracks 35 Higher Education companies headquartered in Tunisia. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by GOMYCODE, ESPRIT and Faculté des Sciences de Tunis. Their median headcount is 347. Half of them were founded in 2000 or later.

The higher education landscape in Tunisia primarily consists of established institutions, both public and private, with a focus on engineering, technology, and general sciences. Companies like GOMYCODE provide digital skill training, while ESPRIT educates operational engineers. The Faculté des Sciences de Tunis, founded in 1960, offers scientific education, and the University of Tunis El Manar provides a wide range of academic programs. Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Tunis and INSAT also contribute to engineering and technology education. Many of these institutions are long-standing, reflecting a mature educational sector.

A notable pattern is the concentration of these larger higher education entities in Tunis, which serves as a central hub for academic and research activities. However, important institutions are also present in other major cities like Sfax and Monastir, indicating a broader distribution of educational resources across the country. The mix includes both older public universities and more recently established private institutions.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
