Degree programmes
The ENS Paris-Saclay Social Sciences Department offers students a research-led education in three disciplines – economics, sociology and history – which universities commonly dissociate.
The study path for normalien students in the Social Sciences Department consists of three stages:
- an undergraduate year (dual bachelor's programme),
- a two-year research master's programme,
- one year devoted to complementary courses, preparation for public sector competitive examinations (agrégation, civil service recruitment), internships or study abroad.
Research
The social sciences research cluster at ENS Paris-Saclay is based on cooperation between various disciplines and on international comparative perspectives.
