The École normal supérieure Lettres et sciences humaines (ENS LSH) was a French Grande École that belonged to the network of Écoles normales supérieures .

history

The ENS LSH was the successor to the ENS in Fontenay and in Saint-Cloud , which were founded in 1880 and 1882 by the French educational reformer Jules Ferry to guarantee high quality teacher training. With the aim of decentralization and the technical reorganization of the ENS, the École Normale Supérieure de Fontenay / Saint-Cloud was formed in 1987 , which moved to Lyon in 2000 and was renamed École normal supérieure Lettres et sciences humaines . It comprised the entire humanities branch of the previous universities, while the natural science part had been located in Lyon since 1987 under the name École normal supérieure de Lyon . On January 1, 2010, the humanities-oriented institution was merged with ENS Lyon (natural science orientation).

Education

Admission to the course took place via a nationwide admissions process after attending two-year preparatory classes . The students accepted in this way were given the designation élève normalien and were accepted into the civil service with a salary for a period of 10 years. In addition, students who came from universities could apply for each subsequent academic year and then study at the ENS LSH as free auditors or as international scholarship holders.

The college had four faculties: literature and arts, languages, humanities and social sciences.

After the first year the students received the license ( bachelor ) and after two more years the master (magister). However, after the first Master's year, the Agrégation was usually prepared for one year , an examination for the higher teaching degree, so that the entire course at the ENS LSH lasted 4 years.
