École des hautes études en santé publique (English:EHESP French School of Public Health), with a campus in bothRennes andParis is designed to form the next generation of French and international professionals inpublic health. It is a 'grande ecole.' EHESP employs 90 full-time professors and has a student population of 1300 (excluding the 7000 training participants).
The École des Hautes Études en Santé Publique (EHESP French School of Public Health) was signed into being January 1, 2008, changing its name from theENSP (École Nationale de la Santé Publique).
The French government set up the school in 1945 as a means of developing amanagement personnel in thepublic sector who were able to apply the majorsocial security laws passed in 1945 and construct the newhealth and welfare administrative infrastructure after theLiberation.
The ENSP was responsible for the professional development of medical and paramedical public health workers as well as health technicians. PostWar legislation, political and economic changes and international collaboration very soon called for a wider range of specialised training courses forpublic health management personnel.
1960 marked the independence of ENSP, allowing it to hire permanentteaching personnel. The campus moved from Paris to Rennes in 1961. In 2008, the increasing complexity and interdisciplinary nature of public health fostered the change in mission from isolated vocational departments to international,interdisciplinary education. The 2004public health law further emphasized the international aim of post-graduate public health education in France. Although already internationally recognized for its work with theWorld Health Organization, EHESP further gained an international image through its various International Programs taught in both French and English. The ENSP became the École des Hautes Études en Santé Publique (EHESP) on January 1, 2008.
On February 9, 2010, it joined 4 universities and other higher educational establishments to formUniversité Sorbonne Paris Cité.
