and Institut Telecom
.
It has established a school named Institut Eurécom
in collaboration with EPFL at Sophia-Antipolis.
or from the French military and police. ENST also provides education for the Corps of Telecommunications
.
The Engineering diploma delivered by ENST is roughly equivalent to a Master of Engineering in the USA. Around 250 engineers graduate each year from ENST. 20% to 25% of the graduates are non-French. Courses cover all aspects of computer and communication engineering: electronics, signal processing, software engineering, networking, economics etc.
Télécom ParisTech has four research laboratories:
These departments are associated with the CNRS through the "Laboratory of the Communication and Processing of Information".
For the students admitted in 1st year, the tronc commun is devoted to the bases des connaissances indispensables (BCI). It unfolds them to Paris and lasts a year for the students coming from the common Competition and those admitted on dismissed titles. It takes place in Paris whether they've chosen the Paris courses or the Sophia-antipolis courses.
The optional cycle is composed of 4 semesters dedicated to the training of the engineers. The teachings of the optional cycle are organized in more than 120 unités d’enseignement(E.U).
The optional cycle is composed of 4 semesters, one of them being dedicated to end of study training. The optional unified cycle works on the model of the unities of capitalizable values called "modules longs" (42 hours - 4 credits) or "modules courts" (21 hours - 2 credits).

History
- In 1845, Alphonse Foy, director of telegraphic lines, proposed a school specializing in telegraphy for Polytechnicians. His proposition was rejected.
- The school was founded on 12 July 1878 as the École Professionnelle Supérieure des Postes et Télégraphes (EPSPT).
- In 1912 the school's name was changed to École Supérieure des Postes et Télégraphes (ESPT).
- In 1934 the ESPT moved to rue Barrault, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
- In 1938 the school was renamed École Nationale Supérieure des Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphones (ENSPTT), and in the same year, the President of France, Albert LebrunAlbert LebrunAlbert François Lebrun was a French politician, President of France from 1932 to 1940.

- In 1971 the ENST passed under the direct guardianship of the Direction générale des télécommunications, and the development of the telecommunications during this period drove the state to create two associate schools: the ENST Bretagne in 1977 at BrestBrest, FranceBrest is a city in the Finistère department in Brittany in northwestern France.
