Academic Programs

Chimie ParisTech - PSL offers a range of academic programs covering all levels, from the engineering program to the Ph.D., including master’s programs.

The engineering program provides a multidisciplinary education covering the major fields of chemistry, supplemented by courses in the humanities, management, and entrepreneurship.

The School offers five master’s programs, all affiliated with a graduate program at PSL University (opens in new tab), and directly administers the Master’s in Chemistry at PSL, the Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering, and the Master’s in Nuclear Energy (in joint accreditation with Paris-Saclay University).

Closely linked to research, this educational program enables our students to thrive in a high-level scientific environment. The doctoral program sees nearly 40 dissertations defended each year, 15% of which are under CIFRE agreements, further demonstrating the connections between academic research and the socio-economic world.
