Chimie ParisTech-PSL (Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris), founded in 1896 by Charles Friedel, trains chemical engineers with solid scientific knowledge, but also management skills and initial experience of the business world. Able to work internationally, all students who graduate from the school speak English fluently and often a second language; the vast majority of them spent a stay abroad as part of an internship or academic exchange.
During a two-year common core, Chimie Paris students consolidate their scientific and technical knowledge before building a more specialized course in the third year (molecular chemistry, materials science and engineering, chemical industry processes, nuclear chemistry , renewable energies, natural chemistry and beauty, analytical chemistry and environment), possibly coupled with a master’s degree. Project-based teaching, developed throughout the training, is supplemented by long internship periods at the end of the second and third year, in a company or in an academic environment in France or abroad. Throughout the course, training in management and entrepreneurship is provided.
Chimie Paris is a member of the Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL Research University) excellence initiative.

In a world where research and innovation are essential drivers for businesses, the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles (ESPCI Paris-PSL), founded in 1882, continues the path traced by Pierre and Marie Curie, Paul Langevin , Georges Charpak and Pierre-Gilles de Gennes by training versatile research and innovation engineers in the fields of physics, chemistry and interfaces with biology and even in the spheres of management and finance.
Its students are mainly recruited through a common PC sector competition at the Ecoles Normales, at X and at ESPCI; but seven other recruitment methods (MP, PC-BIO, university career, foreign sector, etc.) ensure enriching diversity. Social diversity is not neglected either since we currently have 38% of scholarship holders. Teaching through research and experience begins in the first three years of the four-year cycle not only with laboratory work, but also with third-year laboratory projects and a six-month industrial internship carried out in France. or abroad (around 60% each year). The fourth year, a real springboard towards the professional world, includes increasing possibilities for double degrees or dual skills. Students can choose to prepare for a research master’s degree in France or abroad, a specialized master’s degree or an application school. And for ever greater excellence, 60% of students complete their studies with a doctorate.

Founded in 1887, ENSIC is one of the few schools to train high-level engineers with an education in both chemistry and process engineering.
SCHOOLSThis multidisciplinary strategy, combined with an active international openness strategy, allows our graduates to be present in the main industrial sectors. Indeed, thanks to an active collaboration with about 60 companies, the ENSIC trains engineers now very sought after in numerous domains such as Chemistry, Pharmacology, Engineering, Energy, Metallurgy, and Nuclear power. Our students benefit from the importance given to scientific and technical applications thanks to our association with two world-renowned research laboratories with common objectives, namely materials and products conception and sustainable process development. Students also have the opportunity to study abroad in a partner university. Moreover, ENSIC promotes interactions with the biology sector; pharmacology students have access to the Pharma Plus education at our school and ENSIC students are allowed to pursue pharmacology and medical studies.
The ECPM trains trilingual chemical engineers mainly destined for the Research and Development field. Over the course of their studies, students gain a strong scientific and technical background in nanomaterials, polymers, health, environment, sustainable development and energy.
They are also able to evolve in an intercultural and international context.The education that is given at the ECPM is mainly characterised by the trilingualism we seek to develop (instilled through scientific classes in French, English and German, mandatory language lessons in two different foreign languages – English and German or Spanish – and an internship experience abroad), a practical approach (about 40% of school time is dedicated to practical work in the lab), a strong orientation towards the research and development area (R&D), and our policy of internships and projects (mandatory internships abroad, end-of-studies projects, innovations projects…).In addition to our scientific specialities (Analytical Sciences, Molecular Chemistry, Polymers, and Material Science), the school affirms its European direction through international recruitment and courses given by international teachers. Through human education and social courses, industrial interventions, internships and various other projects, we allow our students to achieve a consistent and efficient knowledge of the European industrial environment. The ECPM also enables its students to be directly in touch with high level and prestigious research thanks to the presence of four world-renowned laboratories on campus. After graduation, our students have sufficient knowledge of the worlds of industry and research to be employed as managerial staff and to hold positions with a high level of responsibility in the industry. Chemical engineers from the school develop skills enabling them to adapt to different sectors of the industry in an economy looking for knowledge and innovation.
