Télécom ParisTech (also known as ENST or Télécom or École nationale supérieure des télécommunications) is one of the top French public institutions of higher education and research (Grandes Écoles) of engineering in France. Located in Paris, it is also a member of the ParisTech Group and the Institut Telecom.
In 1991, Télécom ParisTech and the EPFL collaborated and established a school named Institut Eurécom located in Sophia-Antipolis. Students can now be admitted in two different curriculums, located either in the Paris or the Sophia-Antipolis campus.
There are two ways to get admitted into Télécom ParisTech as an undergraduate student:
University students can also get admitted into Télécom ParisTech's Master of Science (MSc.) programme through an application-based admission process for university students from all over the world.
Télécom ParisTech is also one of the approved application schools for the École Polytechnique, making it possible for fourth-year students to complete their studies with a one-year specialization at Télécom ParisTech. Télécom ParisTech also provides education for the Corps des télécommunications.
Around 250 engineers graduate each year from Télécom ParisTech. Thirty to thirty-five percent of the graduates are foreign students coming from all over the world. Specialization courses cover all aspects of computer science and communication engineering: Electronics, Signal processing, Software engineering, Networking, Economics, Finance etc.

Télécom ParisTech has four research laboratories:
These departments are associated with the CNRS through the "Laboratory of the Communication and Processing of Information" and the "Interdisciplinary Institute for Innovation".
For undergraduate students, the core curriculum, commonly referred to as tronc commun, consists of courses in most areas of science (Mathematics, Economics, applied Mathematics, Computer science, Physics, etc.), as well as compulsory courses in the humanities (foreign languages, social sciences, liberal arts, etc.)
