Ecole Normale Supérieure

Ecole Normale Supérieure, 45 rue d'Ulm, 75230 Paris cedex 05, France
3.76 / 5 based on 18 reviews.
Description:
The ENS covers a vast spectrum of academic disciplines in both the humanities and sciences. It does so within six humanities departments (Philosophy, History, Classics, Literature and Languages, Social Sciences, Geography) and six science departments (Pure and Applied Mathematics, Computing, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Land-Atmosphere-Ocean). In each of these departments, the activities of teaching and research are closely interlinked. The initial task of the Ecole, to form the teachers and professors of the future, remains its fundamental vocation; but this has significantly widened in recent times, and pupils now go on to a wide range of future careers.

My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Most of the literature classes at Ens take the form of seminars or workshops and deal with broad themes, e.g literature and politics, writers and opera. etc. If you want to study a specific writer/literary movement, or gain some broader knowledge in a particular field, it is advisable to attend lectures at Paris 4 (Sorbonne) or Paris 3. Having said this, many of the French literature lectures I tried at Paris 4 were quite disappointing. I would however highly recommend Bertrand Marchal's courses for anyone who is interested in 19th c. Fr. literature - Baudelaire, Mallarme, Huysmans etc.

Course recommendations:
I would like to suggest that we can have more lively time table or schedule; one session of class may be can carried out in 2 hours instead or 4 or 5 hours. This will help students to understand and absorp the materials better. Overally, the rest is nice and suitable.
