Collaborations of Chimie ParisTech - PSL with higher education and research institutions abroad are fully part of the school's international strategic plan.
They contribute to developing knowledge in many areas of chemistry that can provide solutions to contemporary challenges in health, the environment and energy.
An international engineering programme
Chimie ParisTech - PSL's engineering programme is based not only on a solid scientific foundation, but also on strong managerial, social and intercultural skills.
This is why the school has entered into cooperation agreements with numerous European and international institutions to enable students to undertake non-degree study periods, double degree programmes and research internships.
The school welcomes 20% international students into its engineering programme.
Highly internationalised Master's degrees
Chimie ParisTech - PSL is involved in five Master's degrees awarded by PSL University, all taught in English and recruiting mainly international students.
In addition, inter-institutional agreements allow foreign students to enrol in these excellent programmes for one semester or a year as part of a non-degree study programme or a double degree programme.
International joint doctoral supervision
The school's research laboratories welcome a large number of full-time international PhD candidates, as well as a few others for short stays.
The school develops international joint PhD supervision programmes with external funding. Symbolising excellent and lasting scientific relationships, PhD candidates in joint supervision benefit from the best assets of both partners.
Doctoral co-supervision agreements have been established with institutions in Belgium, Italy, Canada, China, Brazil, Mexico and Kenya.
International campuses
Chimie ParisTech - PSL has contributed to the emergence of a few engineering schools abroad.
Today, the school continues to coordinate Chimie Pekin, the result of a partnership between Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) and member schools of the Fédération Gay-Lussac (FGL).
Institutionalised research collaborations
Chimie ParisTech - PSL is involved in several international cooperation programmes aimed at developing areas of chemistry with significant societal impacts.
In 2025, the school committed to the project to create an international centre of excellence in circular economy in São Paulo.
