Ecole normale superieure

The Ecole normale supérieure is an number one college in France as well as in Europe overall. The ENS has held this prevalent position for quite a long time running and is broadly thought to be the most particular and most difficult establishment of higher learning and research in France. Established in 1794, the ENS has long been a national legend. Unrivaled in preparing driving French savvy people in all fields the ENS checks amongst its graduated class such figures as Henri Bergson, Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Louis Pasteur, Paul Langevin and Laurent Schwartz. In math all French Fields Medals are held by ENS graduated class, just like every one of the 12 French Nobel prizes over all orders. Since 1945, the ENS has gathered 50% of the National Research (CNRS) Gold Medals, France's highest examination grant. Nearly every field of knowledge and research is represented at the ENS. It numbers over 2500 students.

Most research focuses and offices, even understudy quarters, are arranged in the chronicled structures of the mourn d'Ulm, situated in the heart of Paris' understudy Latin Quarter. Unlike the other French colleges, the ENS prides itself on encouraging a genuine group of understudies and a rich grounds life. Scholarly and social occasions proliferate, from gatherings, movies, shows and level headed discussions, to athletic and social occasions.

The ENS covers a wide range of academic disciplines in both the humanities and sciences. It has six humanities departments (Philosophy, Classics, History, Literature and Languages, Social Geography, Sciences) and six science departments (Mathematics, Computing, Chemistry, Biochemy, Biology, Land-Atmosphere-Ocean). In each of these departments, the activities of teaching and research are closely interlinked. The initial task of the Ecole, to form the teachers and professors of the future, remains its fundamental vocation; but this has significantly widened in recent times, and pupils now go on to a wide range of future careers.
