Explained: The difference between a French university and a 'grande ecole'

Grande école Literally translating as 'big school', a grande école is in fact a higher education establishment too. A grande école is usually defined as prestigious, recognised by the state. However this is not the same as institutions designated 'Ivy League' in the US or 'redbrick' in the UK - grande écoles have a different structure and rules to standard French universities. A grande école can be public or private. They offer three or five-year programmes and award a master's degree.
