International programs and partnerships


International Exchanges
Studying abroad is an essential part of the ENS student experience. Students may choose from institutions in the Erasmus+ program as well as from distinguished schools in countries across the globe.

Bilateral Exchange Programs
The ENS chooses its partners based on three central factors: geographic location, existence of active collaboration with researchers at ENS, and quality of the education offered at the establishments.
Erasmus+ Exchanges
ENS students are able to study abroad through Erasmus from their third year of license study (L3) until their second year of Masters study (M2). If necessary, they may obtain an exemption of attendance for the university in Paris in which they are enrolled.
