It is a National School of Engineers, part of the University of Strasbourg and a member of the Fédération Gay-Lussac, which recruits from the common polytechnic entrance examination.

The ECPM offers its students three specialties: chemistry (analytical or organic), polymers or materials.

1948 - Creation at the same place of the Ecole nationale supérieure de chimie (ENSCS) by the professor H. Forestier.

The first practical sessions from the ENSCS in analytical chemistry begin at the start of the school year 1962.

→ To enter the First year: - The school recruit essentially with the «Concours Communs Polytechniques» (CCP) or the DEUG (which are national competitive exams).

→ To enter the Second year, students can have access at the ECPM having an interview, with a Master M1 in Physics with a speciality in Polymers or materials.

→ Admission to the CP2i class in the ECPM, after the Baccalaureate, or an equivalent foreign degree for the international students.

General presentation of CPI-CHEM.I.ST : The CPI-CHEM.I.ST base of more practical work than in an intensive foundation degree, with high-quality laboratory.

The program includes group work to develop the communication, the creativity around scientists projects.

During, the "videxo" student solves a science problem on a board and in the same time someone films him to send the video to the teachers.

The goal of this is to promote self-confidence, speaking, and the scientist reflexion which are important qualities for the future engineer.

Analytical Chemistry: Students are trained in techniques of analysis within the context of quality control.

Moreover, a junior company, Strasbourg Chimie Service, allows students-employed to make some punctual missions like chemical analyses, scientific conferences or translations of publications.

It has in particular for ultimate objective the creation of a robust and big network ECPM, a very great tool for a successful career.

Moreover, there is a mezzanine with a hi-fi system, which makes you think of a nightclub and a terrace which is surrounded by trees and is really cozy.

These 20 schools, through their teaching activities, research and training, are working together to raise awareness, develop and promote engineering courses in chemistry.

Its main objective is to promote, to contribute to the national and international influence and to increase the legibility of its schools' members.

The fields of research are varied: materials, catalysis, polymers, organic synthesis, analysis of biomolecules.

- In the common room: it is mainly the place where the engineers eat because they are contributors (prices are less expansive for them).
