The École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (also known as ENST or Télécom or Télécom Paris) is one of the most prestigious and selective grandes écoles in France located in Paris. It is one of the finest institutions in France in the field of Telecommunications. It is a member of ParisTech and Groupe des Écoles des Télécommunications (GET)
It has established a school named Institut Eurécom in collaboration with EPFL at Sophia-Antipolis.

[edit] History
- In 1845, Alphonse Foy, director of telegraphic lines, proposed a school specialised in telegraphy for Polytechnician. His proposition was rejected.
- It was founded in July 12, 1878 as l'École Professionnelle Supérieure des Postes & Télégraphes (EPSPT).
- In 1912, the name of the school was changed to l'École Supérieure des Postes & Télégraphes (ESPT).
- In 1934, The school moved to rue Barrault, in XIIIe arrondissement of Paris.
- In 1938, the school was named École Nationale Supérieure des Postes, Télégraphes & Téléphones (ENSPTT), and in the same year, the President of France, Albert Lebrun honored the school Legion of Honor.
- During the Second World War, in 1942, ENSPTT was divided into two schools: ENSPTT and ENST. ENSPTT was closed on 31 December 2002.
- In 1971, the ENST passed under direct guardianship of the Direction générale des télécommunications, and the development of the telecommunications during this period drived the state to create two associate schools, the ENST Bretagne in 1977 at Brest, and the INT in 1979 at Évry.
- In 1992 ENST found Institut Eurécom with EPFL at Sophia-Antipolis.
- On 26 December 1996, the Groupe des Écoles des Télécommunications was established, which consists of a group of telecommunication schools including ENST, ENST Bretagne,INT and Eurécom, etc.
[edit] Present
Future engineers are recruited from college ("Classes Préparatoires") or after a bachelors degree in scientific areas (physics, mechanics, chemistry, computer science etc.). Some other admission possibilities are after completing the École Polytechnique or from the French military and police.
The Engineering diploma delivered by ENST is roughly equivalent to a Master of Engineering in the USA. Around 250 engineers graduate each year from ENST. 20% to 25% of the graudates are non-French. Courses cover all aspects of computer and communications engineering: electronics, signal processing, software engineering, networking, economics etc.
[edit] Research at ENST
Research at Télécom Paris consists of:
- The optimization and the transmission of information
- The improvement in data processing
- Microelectronics, such as FPGA and DSP systems
- Image and signal processing, wavelets
- Artificial intelligence, data mining, distributed and real-time systems
Télécom Paris has four research laboratories:
- Department of Electronics and Communications : This laboratory consists of about one hundred researchers and teaching researchers (37 tenured) within 7 research groups
- Department of Computer Science and Networking
- Department of Signal and Image Processing
- Department of Economic and Social Sciences
These departments are associated with the CNRS through the "Laboratory of the Communication and Processing of Information".
[edit] Formations for Bachelor degree
- The common trunk (1styear)
For the admitted students in 1st year, the tronc commun is devoted to the bases des connaissances indispensables (BCI). It unfolds them to Paris and lasts a year for the students coming from the common Competition and the admitted one on dismissed titles, that they chose the Paris courses or the Sophia-antipolis courses.
- The optional unified Cycle (2nd and 3rd years) - Paris courses
The optional cycle is composed of 4 semesters, which is dedicated to the training of the engineers. The teachings of the optional cycle are organized in more than 120 unités d’enseignement(E.U).
- The optional unified Cycle (2nd and 3rd years) - Sophia-antipolis courses (at Institut Eurécom)
The optional cycle is composed of 4 semesters of which an is dedicated to end training of study. The optional unified cycle works on the model of the unities of capitalizable values called "modules longs" (42 hours - 4 credits) or "modules courts" (21 hours - 2 credits).
- Studies abroad, Masters recherche & other opportunities for the 3rd year
[edit] Formations for Master degree
ENST offers Mastères spécialisés (MS), Masters Recherche (MR) and Master of Science (MSc) programmes in different domains.

[edit] Master of Science courses
Master of Science is offered through GET and ParisTech. This program is intended for bachelor degree holders or of an equivalent diploma to 4 years of university studies in the domain of Information Technology and Telecommunications. The duration of courses will be 12 to 24 months and the course fee is 10,000€. The courses offered at Paris campus will be initially in English and gradually in French. The courses offered at Institut Eurécom, Sophia-Antipolis campus will be entirely in English. The degrees which are obtained are accredited by Conference des Grandes Ecoles and are called Master of Science (English) / Diplôme National Master (French).
