Study at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in the heart of the Paris
"Quartier Latin"
at the Department of Cognitive Studies.

The Department of Cognitive Studies of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris
offers graduate programs in Linguistics and in Cognitive Science. While it is
possible to apply to these programs and be accepted without support, a small
number of applicants can become International Division Scholars and receive a
monthly stipend of 1,000 Euros for three-years.

This International Scholars Program is reserved for foreign (non-French)
participants. In the Humanities, this scholarship is aimed at the most
promising students currently enrolled in their final year of undergraduate
studies. In the Sciences, it is aimed at the most promising students who are
currently enrolled in their second or third year of university studies. Upon
acceptance, students become ENS-International Division Scholars. After
graduating from the ENS, or during their final year, most students begin their
doctoral thesis. If completed in France, this thesis may be financed by a
research grant awarded by the French Ministry of National Education. For any
thesis pursued outside France, there are bilateral and European agreements
managed by the ENS in close collaboration with other foreign universities
(co-sponsored thesis). After having completed the doctoral thesis, most ENS
students choose a career in the field of research or higher education.
