L'École des Mines d'Alès (French pronunciation:[ekɔldemindalɛs];EMA) was created in 1843 by King Louis Philippe, under the guardianship of theFrench Ministry of Economy, Finance and Employment, is a French technology and engineering university. From 2012, its full name changed intoÉcole Nationale Supérieure des Mines d'Alès (pronounced[ekɔlnɑsjɔnalsypeʁjœʁdemindalɛs]). Founded in 1843, this school was originally formed for study of the mining industry. It is now an engineering school in FranceGrandes écoles and of theGroupe des écoles des mines.[4]
There are three year engineering degree and master's degree programs.[5]
L'École des Mines d'Alès (EMA) was founded in 1843.
The First World War (1914–1918) forced the school to close down temporarily.[6]
Institut Mines-Telecom (IMT) engineering schools areGrandes Écoles, a French institution ofhigher education that is separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of theFrench public university system. Similar to theIvy League in the United States,Oxbridge in the UK, andC9 League in China,Grandes Écoles are elite academic institutions that admit students through an extremely competitive process.[7][8][9] Alums go on to occupy elite positions within government, administration, and corporate firms in France.[10][11]
Although the IMT engineering schools are more expensive than public universities in France,Grandes Écoles typically have much smaller class sizes and student bodies, and many of their programs are taught in English. International internships, study abroad opportunities, and close ties with government and the corporate world are a hallmark of theGrandes Écoles. Many of the top ranked schools in Europe are members of theConférence des Grandes Écoles(CGE), as are the IMT engineering schools.[12][13] Degrees from the IMT are accredited by theConférence des Grandes Écoles[14] and awarded by theMinistry of National Education (France) (French:Le Ministère de L'éducation Nationale).[15]
The main part of the school is in the city Alès. The students' residence is around 2 km from the main campus. The residence offers individual rooms, double rooms or studios, furnished and equipped. There are also a laundry, a kitchen equipped, rooms for entertainment, a bar, an auditorium, and a TV room with campus wide internet access.[16]
