École normale supérieure de Lyon
higher education institution in Lyon, France
The École normale supérieure de Lyon (also ENS de Lyon, ENSL or Normale Sup' Lyon) is a French grande école. It is one of the four prestigious écoles normales supérieures in France. The school is composed of two academic units —Arts and Sciences— with campuses in Lyon, near of the Rhône and Saône rivers.
ENSL students usually enjoy special civil servant status after highly competitive examinations, providing they pursue careers in public service.[1] The school remains independent, although it maintains extensive connections with the University of Lyon and external research institutions, including the CNRS.
