Main entrance of the Ens-Lyon
The École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (also known as ENSL, ENS-Lyon or Normale Sup' Lyon) is an elite grande école located in Lyon, France. Equal in status to the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, it trains researchers and teachers in the sciences and the humanities. Teaching subjects include:
- pure and applied mathematics, computer science
- physics and chemistry
- life and earth sciences.
- arts
- humanities
- social sciences
To be accepted into the ENS-Lyon, students must first go through two rigorous years in "classe preparatoire", an elite system which prepares them for the series of competitive national exams. Their performance in these exams, both written and oral, determines whether or not they are admitted to the ENS-Lyon.
历史
This higher education establishment was created from two earlier Écoles normales supérieures, the ENS of Saint-Cloud (built in 1882) and Fontenay-aux-Roses (1880), created by Jules Ferry. They were open to men and women respectively. In 1981, both became mixed. As part of France's process of decentralisation, the scientific departments moved to Lyon in 1987, with the creation of the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon; humanities students remained in what was now called the ENS de Fontenay/St Cloud. In 2000, the humanities were transferred to the École Normale Supérieure Lettres et Sciences Humaines, also located in the Gerland district of Lyon's 7th arrondissement. On 1 January 2010, the scientific branch and the arts, humanities and social sciences branch merged to become a single institution, retaining the name ENS-Lyon.
