School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences
The School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (also known as EHESS) is one of the most selective and prestigious graduate schools of social sciences in Paris, France.
It is one of the French grands établissements and a member of PSL University, generally ranked as the best university in France, since 2014.
Originally a department of the École Pratique des Hautes Études, an institution created in 1868 with the purpose of training academic researchers
, the EHESS became an independent institution in 1975.
Today its research covers the fields of Economics and Finance (through the Paris School of Economics), Cognitive Sciences, Humanities, Political Sciences, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Development studies, Sociology, Anthropology, History, Musicology, and Philosophy of social science.
The institution is concentrated on scholarly research and some of its faculty (known as "directeurs d'études")
have achieved international recognition in different areas: in economics, Thomas Piketty and Nobel laureates Esther Duflo and Jean Tirole; historians such as Fernand Braudel and Lucien Febvre; anthropologists such as Claude Lévi-Strauss, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and Marcel Mauss, sociologists such as Pierre Bourdieu, Edgar Morin and Alain Touraine; philosophers such as Jacques Derrida, and interdisciplinary scholars such as Marcel Mauss and Raymond Aron.
As a higher education institution under the jurisdiction of the French Ministry of Education, the EHESS trains academic researchers and professors specialised in the social sciences.
It awards graduate degrees, such as the master of research and the doctorate, as well as a school diploma.
Some of them are awarded conjointly with institutions such as the École Normale Supérieure, the École Polytechnique, the École pratique des hautes études, and some of the universities of Paris.
The EHESS is a grande école and, as such, is not part of the mainstream university system.
It evaluates students through a selection process based on the research project of the applicants.
The scholars in training are free to choose their own curriculum among the large quantity of seminars offered by the school.
The école has a small student-faculty ratio (830 researchers for 3000 students).
Most faculty belong to other institutions, mostly within the CNRS but also other schools of Université PSL such as the ENS, the EPHE and the ENC, schools of Université Paris-Saclay such as Télécom ParisTech and the ENSAE, and some of the universities of Paris.
