ParisTech, group of engineering schools in France
ParisTech is a network of engineering and science schools in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, encompassing multiple historic and modern buildings in a busy neighborhood. The schools work together to support research and teaching, hosting over 12,000 students across various programs from undergraduate degrees to doctoral studies.
The network formed in the early 1990s when several major schools in Paris joined together, officially rebranding as ParisTech in 1999. Some of the schools trace their origins to the 17th and 18th centuries and have maintained their academic traditions to the present day.
ParisTech's name reflects its 1999 rebrand when several prestigious schools merged to strengthen their combined identity. Today you can observe students from different fields gathering in courtyards and nearby cafes, sharing a sense of shared purpose and intellectual curiosity.
The schools are located in the busy 5th arrondissement with narrow streets, small cafes, and easily accessible locations, making visits and exploration straightforward. The area is best explored on foot, as buildings are clustered together and the neighborhood is very pedestrian-friendly.
Students can study and conduct research internationally through exchange programs and partnerships with universities in China, Brazil, and other countries. This worldwide network allows students and researchers to participate in projects across continents.
