The École Nationale Supérieure de Géologie (ENSG; English: National Superior School of Geology) is a French

grande école, located in Nancy, Eastern France, part of the University of Lorraine

.

History

The ENSG was created as Institut de Geologie Appliquée de Nancy in 1908, and became a National Engineering School, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie Appliquée et de Prospection Minière, in 1948.

In 2010, it received the Observatoire des Sciences de l'Univers status from the National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU) of the

Centre national de la recherche scientifique.^[1]

The school

The ENSG engineering school is one of the French

Grandes Ecoles, part of the University of Lorraine and associated with the Institut Mines-Télécom. It trains students in the main fields of geological engineering

. Its flagship degree is the Diplome d'ingénieur de l'ENSG (M2-level), which combines education in mathematics, physics, engineering and geology.

Admission

The majority of ENSG students are recruited at L3 level after a national competitive entrance exam following a two-year

Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Ecoles

or based on an application file after a bachelor's degree. Admissions in second year (M1 level) are also possible for students after a M1 cursus.

Curriculum

Students follow common classes during the semesters 5, 6 and 7, where they take introductory classes in

porous media, structural geology, sedimentology, mineralogy, geochemistry, computer programming, statistics

foreign languages, project management.

During semesters 8 and 9, students specialize in

Mineral resource

engineering and management, Water and the environment, Geosciences for energy, Reservoir engineering and hydrodynamics or Numerical geology.

The last Semester (10) is dedicated to an end-of study project, generally performed as an internship.

Research

The ENSG professors and researchers are associated to several research labs:

CRPG: Centre de Recherches Petrographiques et Geochimiques
GeoRessources: Geomodels, Raw Materials, Geosystems
LIEC: Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Continental Environments
LEMTA: Theoretical and Applied Energetics and Mechanics Laboratory
LORIA: Computer Science Research and Applications.
Institut Elie Cartan de Lorraine: Mathematics
