It is one of the four prestigious \u00e9coles normales sup\u00e9rieures in France. The school is composed of two academic units \u2014Arts and Sciences\u2014 with campuses in Lyon, near the confluence of the Rh\u00f4ne and Sa\u00f4ne rivers.ENSL’s students usually enjoy a special civil servant status in the wake of highly competitive exams, providing they pursue careers in public service.[4] Although it maintains extensive connections with the University of Lyon and external research institutions, including the CNRS, the school remains independent.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Training teachers for normal schools[edit]A shift towards secondary and higher education[edit]The relocation in Lyon[edit]Academics[edit]Monod Campus: Natural and Experimental Sciences Departments[edit]Descartes Campus: Humanities and Social Sciences Departments[edit]Research[edit]Sciences[edit]Humanities[edit]Students[edit]Normaliens-\u00e9l\u00e8ves[edit]Normaliens-\u00e9tudiants[edit]Auditeurs de masters[edit]Studies[edit]First year[edit]Second and third years[edit]Fourth year[edit]Gap years[edit]Doctoral studies[edit]Rankings[edit]Notable people[edit]Faculty[edit]Alumni[edit]Recipients of honorary degree[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Training teachers for normal schools[edit]L’\u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Lyon is the descendant of two top educational institutions founded by Jules Ferry:L’\u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses, for girls, founded in 1880.L’\u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Saint-Cloud, for boys, founded in 1882.Recruiting among the most brilliant French students, these two schools used to train the professors of the French normal schools. Whereas these schools were largely regarded as meritocratic, their sisters – the eldest, l’\u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure de la Rue d’Ulm, and her feminine counterpart, l’\u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de jeunes filles de S\u00e8vres -, which trained academics, were de facto dedicated to the heirs of the Parisian elites.A shift towards secondary and higher education[edit]Following a reform of normal schools, the decree of February 19, 1945 granted both institutions the title of \u00c9coles normales pr\u00e9paratoires \u00e0 l’enseignement secondaire. The schools’ purpose changed with the growth of the French education system. By 1956, the length of studies was increased to four years in order to institute a preparation for the agr\u00e9gation – a prestigious teaching qualification. Increasingly opening up to research, they aligned their development strategies with those of the ENS Ulm and S\u00e8vres.The relocation in Lyon[edit]As part of France’s process of decentralisation, the Schools’ scientific departments moved in 1987 to Gerland, an old industrial district of Lyon, in the premises of the current Monod campus. The relocated institution was named ENS Lyon.Humanities students remained in the Parisian suburbs within the coeducational \u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud. In 2000, this school, informally renamed \u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure lettres et sciences humaines, was transferred to the new Descartes Campus also located in Gerland.On the first of January 2010, the two branches merged to become a single institution, retaining the name \u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Lyon.[5]Academics[edit]ENS de Lyon is a Grande \u00c9cole, a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of the French public university system. Similar to the Ivy League in the United States, Oxbridge in the UK, and C9 League in China, Grandes \u00c9coles are elite academic institutions that admit students through an extremely competitive process.[6][7][8]Grandes \u00c9coles typically they have much smaller class sizes and student bodies than public universities in France, and many of their programs are taught in English. While most Grandes \u00c9coles are more expensive than French universities, ENS de Lyon charges the same tuition fees: \u20ac243 annually for the master’s degree in 2021\u20132022; \u20ac184 for the Bachelor’s.[9] International internships, study abroad opportunities, and close ties with government and the corporate world are a hallmark of the Grandes \u00c9coles.[10][11] Degrees from \u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure are accredited by the Conf\u00e9rence des Grandes \u00c9coles[12] and awarded by the Ministry of National Education (France) (French: Le Minist\u00e8re de L’\u00e9ducation Nationale).[13] Alums go on to occupy elite positions within government, administration, and corporate firms in France.[14][15]Teaching at the ENS de Lyon is organised through twelve main departments, spread over the two campuses:Monod Campus: Natural and Experimental Sciences Departments[edit]  Jacques Monod Campus – SciencesBiologyChemistryComputer scienceEarth scienceMathematicsPhysicsDescartes Campus: Humanities and Social Sciences Departments[edit]  Ren\u00e9 Descartes Campus – HumanitiesArts and humanities: Musicology, Cinema and Theater studies, Classics and modern French LiteratureEconomicsEducation and digital humanitiesForeign languages, Literatures and Civilisations: Arabic, Chinese, English, German, Italian, Spanish and RussianHuman sciences: Philosophy, Cognitive science and AnthropologySocial sciences: Sociology, History, Geography, Political science and International studiesResearch[edit]23 of ENSL’s research groups have contractual ties to major research organizations, notably the CNRS and INSERM.  ENSL is a member of several advanced research networks and competitive clusters, including Lyon BioP\u00f4le, and hosts an Institute for Advanced Study, the Collegium de Lyon.Sciences[edit]Institute of Functional Genomics of Lyon (IGFL)Laboratory of molecular and cell biology (LBMC)Laboratory of plant reproduction and development (RDP)Laboratory of human virology (VIRO)Laboratory of Earth Sciences (LST)Joliot-Curie interdisciplinary laboratory (LJC)Laboratory of Pure and Applied Mathematics (UMPA)Laboratory of chemistryComputer science laboratory (LIP)Laboratory of physicsAstronomy research center (CRAL)Center for high field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (CRMN)Humanities[edit]C2SO – Communication, culture and societyInstitute for the History of Classical Thought, from Humanism to the EnlightenmentInstitute of East Asian Studies (IAO)Interactions, Corpuses, Learning and RepresentationsInterdisciplinary approach to the logics of power in medieval Iberian societiesLiterature, Ideologies and Repr\u00e9sentations in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth CenturiesRh\u00f4ne-Alpes Centre for Historical ResearchSocialisation Research GroupTriangle: Action, Discourses, Economic and Political ThoughtHistory and Archaeology of the Medieval Christian and Islamic WorldsEconomic Theory and Analysis GroupStudents[edit]  View from the meadows of the “Ren\u00e9 Descartes” Campus (Humanities)Normaliens-\u00e9l\u00e8ves[edit]ENSL retains its close links to the classes pr\u00e9paratoires which prepare high-level students – previously selected on the basis of their academic record – for the competitive entrance examination that is taken after two years of pluridisciplinary undergraduate-level study.Students who succeed in the entrance examinations, which attract some 6000 candidates for 228 positions, are known as normaliens-\u00e9l\u00e8ves; those who are from France or another European Union country are considered trainee public servants, and receive a salary for their studies during 4 years. A second entrance examination is also open to students who have not gone through the classes pr\u00e9paratoires system.In return of their salary, they have to serve in public services for 10 years.Normaliens-\u00e9tudiants[edit]Entry to ENSL is not restricted to normaliens-\u00e9l\u00e8ves. Students may also apply through a separate admissions process based on academic prowess. The normaliens-\u00e9tudiants are not public servants, but their formation and diploma are the same as those of the normaliens-\u00e9l\u00e8ves.Auditeurs de masters[edit]An auditeur de master is someone who has been admitted at the ENSL at the master level. By opposition to the normaliens-\u00e9l\u00e8ves and the normaliens-\u00e9tudiants, they don’t have the title of Normalien and are just eligible to a master’s degree. They can’t obtain the ENSL diploma.Studies[edit]First year[edit]Students prepare the third year of Licence, the equivalent of a UK Bachelor’s degree.The ENS de Lyon offers numerous courses which are conceived as preparations for Masters.Second and third years[edit]Students prepare in two years their Master’s degree. 5 research Masters are proposed in Sciences, 36 in Humanities.Fourth year[edit]During this year, students can prepare the agr\u00e9gation teacher recruitment examination in 16 different subjects.Students can also start their PhD, go studying for one year or more in a foreign country, or follow during one year courses in other subjects.Gap years[edit]Between the first and fourth year, normaliens can also spend up to 2 free years called ann\u00e9es sans solde, during which they can study other disciplines or do a long internship, sometimes in foreign countries. Each ann\u00e9e sans solde project needs the approval of the ENSL supervisors.Doctoral studies[edit]The ENS de Lyon welcomes over 400 PhD students from all over the world.[16]Normaliens can apply to specific doctoral contracts, as long as the thesis is undertaken within a French research institution.Rankings[edit]This list is sortable. Click on the boxes next to the attribute names to sort the list by yearThe 2023 QS World University Rankings[22] ranked the ENSL 111th university in the world.However, international rankings do not suit well the French academic system, where research organizations are often independent from universities.[23] Moreover, the ENS are small institutions favouring education quality rather than research productivity. For instance, some French universities are better ranked than the ENS, even though the different \u00e9coles normales sup\u00e9rieures are considered to be among the highest French academic institutions due to their endowment, prestige and selectivity.[24]Notable people[edit]Faculty[edit]Alumni[edit]Recipients of honorary degree[edit]References[edit]^ “ENS de Lyon, Budget initial 2017” (PDF). www.ens-lyon.fr. 2018.^ “D\u00e9cret du 31 mai 2019 portant nomination du pr\u00e9sident de l’Ecole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Lyon – M.
