École normale supérieure (ENS) is one of France's most prestigious higher education and research institutions, commonly referred to as a grande école. It is particularly renowned for its rigorous selection process, small student body, and strong emphasis on research across the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Students typically receive competitive scholarships and are expected to pursue academic or research careers. The institution has produced numerous Fields Medalists, Nobel laureates, and leading French intellectuals. The main ENS campus is located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, near the Latin Quarter, and is now part of the Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL) University alliance. The school operates several research laboratories in partnership with CNRS and other major French research institutions. It offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, with a strong focus on preparing students for careers in academia, research, and public service.
