École nationale des ponts et chaussées

École nationale des ponts et chaussées, created in 1747 under the name École Royale des Ponts et Chaussées, is a higher education establishment that trains engineers to a high level of scientific, technical and general competency. Apart from civil engineering and spatial planning, historically the source of its prestige, the School develops high-quality programs and research associated with the energy transition.

École nationale des ponts et chaussées provides a very high-level education in general engineering. 

In July 2024, the School became a member of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, world-class Institute of science and technology encompassing 6 prestigious French engineering Schools: École Polytechnique, ENSTA Paris, École nationale des ponts et chaussées, ENSAE Paris, Télécom Paris, Télécom SudParis.

The Graduate School, underpinned by the excellence of its 12 research labs, develops  Masters and PhD programs in mechanical and civil engineering, materials sciences, nuclear engineering, mathematics, information technology, environmental sciences, urban planning, transportation, economics, and sociology.

Through its subsidiaries or in its own right, it develops initial education and lifelong learning that are closely connected with different sectors of the economy.

It is therefore a key player in lifelong learning for senior executives in its prime disciplines.
