A gem of French teaching, the school has had six Nobel Laureates among its scholars (Marie and Pierre Curie, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, Georges Charpak) and is ranked one of the two top engineering schools in France in the Shanghai ranking.

The school attracts an ever-increasing number of applicants, and its engineers and PhD engineers form a formidable pool of new talent for the R&D departments of large-scale corporations with whom the school has established strong ties. Its graduates likewise contribute to fundamental academic research programs.
The school is also home to its own startup incubator, which currently hosts 16 companies of strong technological potential.
