The 3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of the Telecommunication S ( ENST ) or Télécom Paris is large a public school of engineers French, general practitioner in the field of information technologies of the communication founded in 1878.

Called formerly University of telegraphy , it forms today part of the Conférence of the universities. The ENST is charged to ensure the training of engineers able to apprehend in their globality the problems involved in the Sciences and communication and information technologies.

It belongs to GET (Group of the schools of telecommunications) and is founding member of ParisTech. It has antennas with Paris and Sophia-Antipolis (Institut Eurécom).

Admission

The recruitment of the students in engineering is done in three ways: ; Contest common for the pupils leaving the preparatory classes to the universities. The entrance examination is the contest “Mine-Bridges”. The studies last three years then. This die counts with the re-entry 2006 seventy-five pupils “Paris course” and thirty pupils “Sophia-Antipolis course” (Institut Eurécom) (source: site of the ENST). ; Admission on Title This procedure of admission, which made it possible to accommodate with the re-entry 2006 fifty-five pupils (thirteen titular pupils of a license and forty-two holders of a control), is thus reserved to the titular students of the one of these university degrees in one of the fields of competence of the ENST. The admission is done on file and maintenance. The holders of a license are allowed in first year like those resulting from the preparatory classes at the universities (three years of studies), while the titular pupils of a control join directly the second year (two years of studies). ; Polytechnic school This procedure of admission is reserved to the pupils of the Polytechnic school who wish to obtain a double Polytechnic-ENST diploma.

These methods of admission relate to the training of engineer. Other formations organized by the school (Master off Science, Mastères Specialized…) their own criteria of admission have (see the Enseignement part).

; The joint base (1st year)

For the pupils admitted in 1st year, the joint base is devoted to the bases of essential knowledge (BCI). It is held in Paris and lasts one year for the pupils resulting from the common Contest and the allowed ones on laid off titles, which they chose the Paris Course or the Sophia-Antipolis Course.

More on the joint base

; The unified optional Cycle (2nd and 3rd years) - Paris Course

The optional cycle is composed 4 six-month periods of which one which is dedicated to the training course of engineer. The lesson of the optional cycle is organized in addition to 120 units of teaching (EU) structured in course. About thirty course sets of themes proposed covers the whole of the fields of competence of the School, for example: cognitive artificial intelligence and sciences - financial engineering - image - new technologies of the IP, networks multiservices - management of project - photonic - signal etc To this scientific lesson obligations in languages are added, social sciences, general culture and right.

; The unified optional Cycle (2nd and 3rd years) - Course Sophia-Antipolis (Institute Eurécom)

The optional cycle is composed 4 six-month periods of which one which is dedicated to the training course of end of study. The unified optional cycle functions on the model of the capitalizable units of called values “long modules” (42 hours - 4 appropriations) or “short modules” (21 hours - 2 appropriations). The catalog of the lesson is organized in seven dies: Networks, Safety of the communication systems, Applications Internet, Multi-media, Mobile communications, Techniques of transmission, Systems time-reality and embarked. The pupils must validate at the same time technical courses, courses of mainstream education as well as language classes, social sciences, general culture and right. The last six-month period is devoted to the training course in industrial environment which proceeds abroad in the large majority of the cases.

History

In second half of the 19th century, with the rise of electric telegraphy, is felt the need to train specialists in this new technology. In 1845, Alphonse Foy, director of the telegraph Lines, proposes the creation of a new school of application for the polytechnicians, specialized in telegraphy. Its proposal at the time is disallowed.

The political volunteer of town and country planning carried out under the Second Empire makes it possible to cover France out of telegraphs completely. Thus in 1876, with the whole beginning of the Third Republic, following a law of 1873, the administrations of the Stations and Telegraphs amalgamate; it is the creation of P&T. In the same dash, under the presidency of Mac-Mahon, the government of Armand Dufaure grows rich on March 1st 1878 by a new postal service and Télégraphes. Adolphe Cochery becomes the first director about it.

Two months after its nomination, A. Cochery publishes the July 12th 1878 a circular ordering the creation of the University of Telegraphy (IS), whose first director is Ernest-Edouard Blavier. The school then settles in the VIII {{E}} district, street of Grenelle, with Paris.

In 1888, it changes name, to become the Higher Vocational school of the Stations & Télégraphes (EPSPT), and its formation integrates a difference between the pupils intended for the higher administration (administrative section) and others (technical section).

In 1912, a new name change makes of them the University of the Stations & Télégraphes (ESPT), and in 1934, it integrates the buildings which it currently occupies street Barrault, in the XIIIe district, in the place of the manufacture of Noblet gloves, on the western side of the Butte to the Ruails.

In 1938, it takes the name of 3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of the stations, telegraphs and telephones (ENSPTT), and the same year, the President of the Republic Albert Lebrun decrees at the school the Légion of honor.

During the war, in 1942, the ENSPTT is divided into two schools: the ENSPTT which forms the administration executives, and which closed its doors on December 31st, 2002, and the ENST (3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of Telecommunications), which is the subject of this article.

In 1971, the ENST passes under the direct supervision of the Head office of telecommunications, and the development of telecommunications for this period leads the State to create two schools sisters, ENST Brittany, in 1977, with Brest, and INT, in 1979, with Évry.

In 1992, the ENST founds with the Federal Polytechnic school of Lausanne (FPSL) the Institut Eurécom, with Sophia Antipolis.

In 1997, the liberalization of the constrained market of telecommunications the State to withdraw the ENST of the direct bosom of France Telecom and creates the Groupe of the schools of telecommunications (GET) (decree of December 26th, 1996) in order to gather schools ENST, ENST Brittany, INT (Telecom INT, INT Management). The GET is an administrative public corporation which depends on the General advice of information technologies (CGTI) to the delegated minister with industry.
