ENS International Selection Scholarships for Masters Students (France) 2024

International Selection Scholarships allows the most promising international students, either in Science or in Arts & Humanities, to follow a three-year Masters Degree at the University.

Joining ENS through the competitive examination of the International selection gives access to training of excellence, through contact with exceptional researchers, in a privileged training and research environment. Integrated to the community of the normaliens, international students continue their studies at ENS and at the university at the same time, while benefiting from a 1000 euros grant for 3 years and from a room on one of the ENS campuses. At the end of their studies, these students have graduated with a master degree in their speciality and with the diploma of École normale supérieure.

The examination takes place in 2 steps: a selection based upon application, then oral and written tests in Paris for shortlisted candidates.
