Campus life

Engineers are made outside the lecture hall too.

Clubs, projects, competitions and friendships: student life at Polytechnique is as busy as the timetable.

Scientific clubs

Run by students: robotics, programming, energy, entrepreneurship, culture and more.

Reading rooms, the school’s collections, and access to national digital libraries and technical databases.

Each year the school celebrates its new engineers with families, teachers and alumni.

The association of students and graduates links more than 11,700 engineers across generations and sectors.

The incubator and entrepreneurship centre help turn student projects into companies.

Exchanges through Erasmus+ and partner institutions.
