ENS-PSL International Selection Competition

This prestigious competition offers students the opportunity to join École normale supérieure (ENS) through a highly selective process, and study at the Paris School of Economics. International students in Economics admitted through this program become part of the ENS community and simultaneously pursue their studies at both ENS and in the Paris School of Economics master programs. They benefit from a €1,000 monthly grant for three (predoctoral) years and accommodation on one of the ENS campuses. Additionally, they are eligible to apply for specific doctoral fellowships (contrats doctoraux spécifiques normaliens, CDSN) to support the pursuit of a PhD in France.

The competition is open to students nearing the end of their bachelor’s degree and is conducted in two stages: an initial selection based on the application, followed by written and oral exams for shortlisted candidates. Each year, ENS offers 10 positions in humanities and social sciences; last year, two economists were admitted. Students should apply in parallel to the Paris School of Economics masters.
