The ENS diploma is generally awarded after three years of study at the ENS. Normaliens students obtain their diploma at the end of their period at the ENS, i.e. at the end of the fourth year.

Students arriving in possession of 120 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) will be able to achieve a master's level of study, amounting to a total of 180 ECTS (L3 + M1 + M2).

Centre de préparation aux agrégations de physique

Depuis plus de 40 ans, le centre commun entre l’ENS Paris, Sorbonne Université et l’université Paris-Saclay prépare à l’agrégation qui est le concours de recrutement de niveau le plus élevé pour l’enseignement secondaire. 

Il ouvre l’accès à l’enseignement en collège et lycée, mais aussi dans les CPGE ou dans les universités (PRAG). Le centre a formé une proportion notable de tous les agrégés de physique en exercice. Les connaissances requises pour le concours relèvent d’un bon niveau de M1 de physique fondamentale, et d’un premier cycle universitaire pour ce qui concerne la chimie. 

The Doctoral School offers physics and mathematics students training in the broad interdisciplinary field of Astronomy and Astrophysics through all of its methods of observation, measurement and computation. 

The subject area continues to grow every year, covering planets to cosmology, using a wide variety of advanced tools preparing for next generation instruments.

École Doctorale 564 Physique en Île-de-France is run by Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL Research University) and co-accredited by Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), Sorbonne Paris Cité (USPC) and Paris-Saclay (UPSaclay) universities.

Its scientific field essentially covers the physics of fundamental interactions, the quantum physics of dilute or condensed matter, statistical physics, the physics of soft or biological matter, as well as fundamental aspects of optics, acoustics and hydrodynamics.

Its scientific positioning is that of fundamental, theoretical and experimental physics, and the applications that naturally follow from this.

More than 700 doctoral students carry out their thesis work within the Physics Doctoral School in île de France, which groups together some 40 laboratories spread across Paris Centre and Paris Sud, and more than 800 thesis supervisors.

These courses cover topics in macroscopic physics, nonequilibrium phenomena, fluid dynamics, nonlinear waves and patterns generated by instability. 

The mathematical framework includes dynamical systems, partial differential equations, and stochastic processes. These courses are now offered as part of various master’s programs in Paris.

Students wishing to specialize in astronomy and astrophysics can enroll in the second year of the "Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering" Master's program, jointly organized by 5 institutions in the Paris region: Observatoire de Paris and Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris (PSL), Sorbonne University, Université de Paris Cité, and Université Paris-Saclay. 

The Master proposes two tracks : "Astrophysique" et "Dynamique des systèmes gravitationnels", et forme une quarantaine d’étudiants par an.
