ESPCI Paris is a constituent college of [[PSL Research University|Université PSL]] and a founding member of the [[ParisTech]] (Paris Institute of Technology) alliance.

Two thirds of the students enter the school following a competitive examination (concours [[École polytechnique|X]]-ESPCI-[[École Normale Supérieure|ENS]]) following at least two years of [[Classes Préparatoires]]. The other students are recruited by submitting applications. The school itself is also known as Physique-Chimie or simply PC.

ESPCI Paris nurtures relationships with many industrial partners such as [[Schlumberger]], [[Rhodia (company)|Rhodia]], [[TotalEnergies]], [[Thales Group|Thales]], [[Arkema]], [[Michelin]], [[Withings]], which sponsors groups of students and has research contracts with ESPCI laboratories. ESPCI Paris also has partnerships with [[L'Oréal]] and [[Saint-Gobain]] for professional recruitment.
