École Normale Supérieure (ENS Paris, often called ENS Ulm) is one of France’s most prestigious grandes écoles and a leading research-intensive institution, founded in 1794 and based in the Latin Quarter of Paris. It trains researchers, academics, and high-level professionals across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, with a model combining selective admission, close faculty mentoring, and early research immersion. ENS Paris is a founding member of Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres) and is known for an exceptionally competitive entrance pathway (notably the concours) and a high concentration of research laboratories and affiliated institutes. The school’s main campus is centered on rue d’Ulm, with additional sites in Paris supporting teaching and research. ENS emphasizes interdisciplinary study, doctoral preparation, and international academic exchange. Student numbers are intentionally small compared with large universities, reflecting its selective grande école character and research focus.
