Télécom ParisTech (also known as ENST or Télécom or École nationale supérieure des télécommunications) is one of the top French public institutions of higher education and research (Grandes Écoles) of engineering in France. Located in Paris, it is also a member of the ParisTech Group and the Institut Telecom.

In 1991, Télécom ParisTech and the EPFL collaborated and established a school named Institut Eurécom located in Sophia-Antipolis. Students can now be admitted in two different curriculums, located either in the Paris or the Sophia-Antipolis campus.

History

  • In 1845, Alphonse Foy, director of telegraphic lines, proposed a school specializing in telegraphy for Polytechnicians. His proposition was rejected.
  • The school was founded on 12 July 1878 as the École professionnelle supérieure des postes et télégraphes (EPSPT).
  • In 1912 the school's name was changed to École supérieure des postes et télégraphes (ESPT).
  • In 1934 the ESPT moved to rue Barrault, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
  • In 1938 the school was renamed École nationale supérieure des postes, télégraphes et 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, the school was divided into two schools: the ENSPTT and École nationale supérieure des télécommunications (ENST). The ENSPTT was closed on 31 December 2002.
  • In 1971 the ENST passed under the direct guardianship of the Direction générale des télécommunications, and the development of telecommunications during this period drove the state to create two associate schools: the ENST Bretagne in 1977 in Brest, and the INT in 1979 at Évry.
  • In 1992 the ENST, together with the EPFL, founded the Institut Eurécom at Sophia-Antipolis.
  • On 26 December 1996 the Groupe des Écoles des Télécommunications (GET) was established. It consists of a group of telecommunications schools including the ENST, the Telecom Bretagne, the Telecom SudParis, and Institut Eurécom.
  • On 21 September 2009, the school's name was changed to Télécom ParisTech.

    • Present

    There are two ways to get admitted into Télécom ParisTech as an undergraduate student:

  • Through a selective entrance examination (Concours Commun Mines Ponts) after at least two years of preparation in Classes préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles curriculum following high school
  • Through an application-based admission process for university students
  • After a scientific bachelor's degree (Mathematics, Physics, Mechanics, Computer science etc.)
  • After a DUT degree from a French university of technology

    • University students can also get admitted into Télécom ParisTech's Master of Science (MSc.) programme through an application-based admission process for university students from all over the world.

    Télécom ParisTech is also one of the approved application schools for the École Polytechnique, making it possible for fourth-year students to complete their studies with a one-year specialization at Télécom ParisTech. Télécom ParisTech also provides education for the Corps des télécommunications.

    Around 250 engineers graduate each year from Télécom ParisTech. Thirty to thirty-five percent of the graduates are foreign students coming from all over the world. Specialization courses cover all aspects of computer science and communication engineering: Electronics, Signal processing, Software engineering, Networking, Economics, Finance etc.

    Research at Télécom ParisTech

    Research at Télécom ParisTech consists of:

  • Optimization and transmission of information
  • Improvements 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 ParisTech has four research laboratories:

  • The Department of Electronics and Communications: This laboratory consists of about one hundred researchers and teaching researchers (37 tenured) within 7 research groups
  • The Department of Computer Science and Networking
  • The Department of Signal and Image Processing
  • The Department of Economic and Social Sciences

    • These departments are associated with the CNRS through the "Laboratory of the Communication and Processing of Information" and the "Interdisciplinary Institute for Innovation".

    Training for engineering degrees

  • First year - Multidisciplinary studies

    • For undergraduate students, the core curriculum, commonly referred to as tronc commun, consists of courses in most areas of science (Mathematics, Economics, applied Mathematics, Computer science, Physics, etc.), as well as compulsory courses in the humanities (foreign languages, social sciences, liberal arts, etc.)

    Taking place in the Paris campus of Télécom ParisTech, this primary year of multidisciplinary studies is common to both Paris curriculum students and Sophia-Antipolis curriculum students; and is followed by a one or two month mandatory summer internship.

  • Second and Third Year - Specialization in Paris or at Sophia-Antipolis (at Institut Eurécom)

    • Starting from their second year, students have to choose a specialization in which they'll receive in-depth courses and that will conclude their engineering curriculum. Based on 13 specialization tracks more than 120 courses, these two years eventually unfold into a six-month internship through which the engineering student will acquire their first real professional experience.

    Third year students can also choose to complete their studies in an approved university in France or abroad, as part of a Double-Degree or a Master of Science program.

    Training for Master degrees

    ENST offers Mastères spécialisés (MS), Masters Recherche (MR) and Master of Science (MSc) programmes in different domains.
