WHAT IS THE ECOLE NORMALE SUPERIEURE?
The current ENS is the result of the merger in 1985 between the École normale supérieure (rue
d’Ulm) and the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles (48, boulevard Jourdan and 1, rue Maurice Arnoux in Montrouge), also known as ENS de Sèvres (its original site). The three current campus (Ulm, Jourdan and Montrouge) receive both French pupils and international students. The School management is located at 45, rue d’Ulm. Class take place both at Rue d’Ulm and Boulevard Jourdan.
ENS trains top-level teachers and rearchers in Humanities and Sciences. Recruitment is by competitive examination. The majority of pupils enter the school after two or three years of Class
Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles (CPGE); a small number, however, come to the School after obtaining a university degree and taking a special entrance exam. Successful candidates take a commitment to rve the State, become trainee civil rvants attached to the Education Ministry and as such receive a salary when they enter the School. During their four years here, they follow a university degree cour (generally in a Paris university) and take the same exams as all the other students. In addition they benefit from tutoring by ENS teachers – known as "caimans" – and from specific lessons (for example to prepare for the Agrégation exam).
The pupils you will be meeting at the School are all open-minded people who will take an interest in you and your work. Don't hesitate to approach them, ask them for advice, and make that little extra effort required to become fully integrated in the School: it will make your stay here that much more enjoyable and rewarding. The cultural, social and artistic activities available at ENS are a very good way of improving your French.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
RESIDENCE PERMIT: The registration process for obtaining your residence permit are now much easier: application forms are filled in at a meeting organized in the School by the Registrar's office.
- Since the beginning of the 2003 academic year, all students who receive their first residence permit must pay a fee of €55. This fee must be paid on the day on which the permit is granted to the students: approximately a month and a half after the start of the academic year.
- For renewals, you will have to pay a fee of €30.
- A medical examination is necessary to obtain the residence permit.
VISA: Nationals of countries in the European Union and the Swiss Confederation do not need a visa.
In application of the law of 26 November 2003, they no longer need a residence permit.
Students from other countries must request a type D long-term student's visa (CESEDA R311-3 6°) from the French Consulate in their country of origin or residence. The Consulate will give you a VLSTS (long stay visa which acts as residence permit), and an application form for an attestation from the OFII (French Office of Immigration and Integration) which you must take to the Registrar's office when you register. (Take the letter nt by the Head of International Relations at ENS to your Consulate).
LANGUAGE ASSISTANTS: If you intend to ask for a position of language assistant in a condary school (which is sometimes the ca in exchanges with English or American universities), you should contact the French Embassy in your country and ask for a language assistant visa which you must take to the Registrar's Office on your arrival. They will take care of the application procedures.
We remind you that your first salary will not be paid until three months after you take up your position.
