230 years of history for the Graduate School.

1281 students, 18 research centers, 286 talented research professors, 1st school for partnership research, a unique link with companies.

Values built over the years, which we are proud to display, to maintain, to share.

Welcome to MINES ParisTech!

MINES ParisTech was established in 1783 when the exploitation of mines was a high-technology industry. Quite naturally, the School followed the development of industry and MINES ParisTech and nowadays, studies develop and teach all the techniques useful for engineers, including economic and social sciences.

Thanks to its multidisciplinary teaching, the School trains non-specialized engineers, able to resolve a real complex problem, carry out an industrial project, and treat all the aspects so technical as scientific, sociological, economic or ethical.

The background of the School, connected to the industry of mines, concentrating all the scientific knowledge, open all the fields of research today: transport, energy, mechanics, etc.

Ever since 1783, the School has always been able to keep ahead of a changing world by taking part in projects and launching them with future potential.

225 years of history, tradition, and heritage are an integral part of the identity and durability of MINES ParisTech. It offers graduate and post-graduate education programs to 1500 students. The Institution holds 15 research centers, 250 talented professor-researchers, and is ranked # 1 institute for partnership research, a unique link with companies. We are proud to display, to maintain, to share our values built over the years.

A French “Grande Ecole”

MINES ParisTech like other French Grandes Ecoles are devoted to the training of top engineers for industries, services, and research. These Schools are relatively small structures (about 150 MSc graduates per year, 100 Ph.D. graduates, 200 professors-researchers) focused on top engineering topics. Education, research and business are strongly linked in academic programs and research activities.

Most of the programs are designed for graduate students with at least a BSc degree. French “Grandes Ecoles” can be seen as an excellence institute for graduate education and research, among which MINES ParisTech is one of the flagships.

International Opportunities

MINES ParisTech has signed more than one hundred agreements on all continents to cooperate within the frame of the Master's degree in Science & Executive ­Engineering program; these agreements are signed under our own name or through the ParisTech or Institut MINES-TELECOM consortiums. MINES ParisTech is a member of the ATHENS Programme and of IDEA League international networks.

Careers

You have choices to make as many career opportunities will be opened to you after graduating from the Institute. A variety of professions will be accessible. During your studies, you will have an opportunity to set out your career plan in close harmony with your ambitions. Whether it be industry, the services or research, you will have access to the wide world.

• Employability.
• Every student is offered a job before the end of the training.
• Several of the CEOs of the 40 leading French companies (CAC 40) are former graduates of the Institute.
• Two Nobel laureates were trained at the Institute: Georges Charpak (Physics, 1992) and Maurice Allais (Economics, 1988).

We carry out a yearly survey to know what our recent graduates are doing. The answer rate for this survey is 100%.

Our latest figures show that:

• 75% are in professional activity.
• 5% are preparing their professional activity, through specific programs (similar to ‘graduate fast-tracks’).
• 18% are pursuing studies, either for a double-degree, a complementary master, a post-master short program or a Ph.D.

On the international scene:

• 11% start to work abroad.

Considering sectors, the possibilities are vast:

• 52% work in the industry (with a predominance in energy and manufacturing).
• 47% work in services (with a predominance in consulting, audit, finance/banking, IT, industrial management, supply-chain, research/development,).
