Preparing for the ENS Paris-Saclay Degree
First-Year Admissions Exam
After completing a preparatory class for the grandes écoles BCPST or TB, students gain admission through a competitive exam and become École Normale students. Paid during their studies, École Normale students are required to succeed and are bound by a ten-year commitment.
- BL Social Sciences Entrance Exam
- Eco-Management Entrance Exam, Option I
- Eco-Management Entrance Exam, Option II
Admission Based on Application Materials for the 1st and 2nd Years
Admission based on application materials grants the status of "normalien·ne-étudiant·e." This status offers the same education and academic support as that provided to student teachers, with the exception that students are not paid during their studies and are therefore not subject to the ten-year commitment.
