Chimie ParisTech

Chimie ParisTech, officially École nationale supérieure de chimie de Paris (French pronunciation: [ekɔl nɑsjɔnal sypeʁjœʁ də ʃimi də paʁi]; "National High School of Chemistry of Paris") and also known as ENSCP or Chimie Paris, is a prestigious grande école and a constituent college of PSL Research University specialised in chemical science.

Most of the students enter the school after highly competitive exams known as the Concours commun Mines-Ponts, following at least two years of classes préparatoires.

There is also a small number of excellent students from French universities admitted to the school.

At the time, the school was called the Laboratoire de chimie pratique et industrielle.

In 1923, the school moved to its current location, on the rue Pierre et Marie Curie (in the 5th arrondissement).
