During their studies in France and abroad, ECE Paris students acquire expertise in the significant sectors of industry, manufacturing, energy, construction, transportation, trade and distribution, finance, insurance, administration, health, education, culture, and media. Once becoming innovative engineers and courted by businesses, all become dedicated to playing a role in contributing to a more efficient economy. ECE Paris prepares them for this by teaching science and high technology and by allowing them to put together their personalized curriculum. ECE Paris educates general and high-tech engineers eager to create solutions to today's most pressing social challenges. During their studies in France and abroad, ECE Paris students gain the expertise required in all the major sectors: industry, manufacturing, energy, construction, transportation, trade and distribution, finance, insurance, administration, health, education, culture, media, etc. ECE Paris combines core training in science and high technology with the possibility for students to build their personalized program. This ensures that our innovative, highly sought-after engineering graduates are well-equipped and motivated to contribute to a more robust economy. The ability to mobilize resources from a broad field of core sciences is the sine qua non of any engineering practitioner, who will be called to design, implement, and monitor complex systems. Mathematics, physics, applied physics, computer science, management, finance, and organization theory form an essential foundation for working on projects and problems that incorporate technological, economic, and social dimensions. By facilitating an understanding of how different disciplines interact, ECE Paris Engineering School strives to give its future engineers a broad perspective. ECE Paris expertise can be judged by the immediate effect of its young graduates in companies. Acquired in both the significant programs and specializations, this expertise prompts industrial employers to recruit ECE Paris engineering graduates, coupled with the appeal of many other factors that are likely to favor their future advancement in the company. ECE Paris's seven majors cover the whole high technology field (information systems, embedded systems, connected things, networks, and services) and the heavily technology-reliant industries (Energy, Finance, Transport, Health). The majors are extended into final-year specializations on subjects as varied and futuristic as robotics, design, and nanotechnology. Openness is a state of mind encouraged as much by the life of the school as by the variety of programs available. From international experience to social engagement, it takes hugely varied forms, from the focus on significant planetary challenges to sporting and cultural activities. It is central to our education programs thanks to the integration of sectors with a significant need for general & high-tech engineers. Openness between sectors diversifies ECE engineers' profile and strengthens their ability to respond to technical issues and society's expectations in today's highly international environment. Openness also means exploring the wide variety of engineering professions, from research to consultancy via business engineering, entrepreneurship, and project management. There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these roots the other, wings." The "roots" are science, technology, management and administration, project management, and social development. The "wings" are a professional attitude, international experience, business approach, personal development, behavior, and values. Reputed for top-level training engineers, the school is also recognized for its commitment to transmitting sound values: ethics, solidarity, respect, listening, openness, autonomy, and sharing. These permeate both the programs and the everyday relationship between faculty, staff, and students. Engineers are critical players in the development of a company. Their responsibility to drive progress and their leadership role come with personal and civic obligations. The objective of ECE Paris Engineering School is not only to teach these values but also to make sure they are brought to bear on every moment of professional and personal life. Diversity is also central to the school's education strategy. The first-year engineering class attests to this: 50% of students are from the ECE Paris undergraduate preparatory program (prépa), 37% from classic preparatory programs, and 13% from alternative backgrounds (technology diploma, university undergraduate). The diversity of student backgrounds is an excellent source of enrichment and stimulation, especially when working in teams. According to this year's QS world university rankings, Paris is the best city for students for the third year running. Melbourne is the second most student-friendly city, while the high cost of living in London has seen it fall a place in the rankings, from second to third. Ninety-five years of history: ECE Paris was inaugurated in 1919 in Paris, under the name Ecole Centrale de TSF (Central University for Wireless Telegraph). The school opened its doors in the aftermath of the First World War under the leadership of a young Petty Officer named Eugene Poirot. Being quite the visionary, the former radio operator took up the challenge of opening a school fully dedicated to teaching the cutting-edge technology that he considered essential to the future communication industry. His intuition led the school in the right direction. The ECTSF trained civilian radio operators for French Radio and Television and military personnel posted on all five continents, at sea, and in the air force. In 1939, television was already under development, and then in 1959 came the transistor. View full university

The École Normale Supérieure de Lyon is an elite French public institution that trains professors, researchers, senior civil servants, and business and political leaders. Students choose their courses and split their time between training and research into sciences and humanities. Built on the ENS de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud tradition, founded in 1880, the ENS de Lyon also focuses on educational research. It is a symbol of French Republican meritocracy, and it remains committed today to disseminate knowledge to the broadest audience and to promote equal opportunity. The ENS de Lyon is part of the Université de Lyon and supports quality research that has earned it a Fields medal (Cedric Villani, 2010) and many CNRS medals. It encourages interdisciplinary studies to foster a better understanding of complex contemporary issues. Setting up an ENS in Lyon was a bit of a long shot! However, the French Ministry and directors of the Écoles - reputed French higher education establishments rose to the challenge and local decision-makers, universities, and scientific researchers, to create an ENS and leading research laboratories, outside the French capital. Today, we can say that their efforts have paid off! ENS de Lyon is proud to open its doors to show visitors what the School has achieved over 30 years, thanks to all the teacher-researchers, staff, and ENS pupils and other students who have all contributed to this success. Aiming to set up a comprehensive training and research network, the ENS de Lyon has developed strong international partnerships with universities, research institutes, and other institutions. It strives to break barriers between training and research, be an active part of European and international research networks, link businesses with experimental research, and contribute to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge. The ENS de Lyon bets on international strategic partnerships and networks to enhance its research & academic programs and stand on the global stage. It also encourages academic mobility beyond borders, whether through exchange programs such as Erasmus, internships, and sabbaticals. Relying on strong research cooperations, the ENS de Lyon has developed a global network of academic and research partnerships. The ENS de Lyon's research labs, teaching departments, and student clubs organize, throughout the year, myriad conferences and events. Since 2002, the association "Confluence des savoirs" brings together a dozen public and private partners that organize 6 to 8 conferences each year, centered around a debate between a renowned scientist and a famous artist. The ENS de Lyon is a partner of this initiative. The library of the ENS de Lyon is home to some 1.2 million documents and electronic resources that can be consulted by anyone. Students, teachers, and researchers from Lyon and its region can borrow titles from Monday through Friday 9 am - 7 pm and Saturday 9 am - 5 pm.
