Ecole Polytechnique – Paris was established during the French Revolution in 1794, it became a military school under Napoleon in 1804. It relinquished its military status to become a public higher educational institution in the 1970s, although it is still under the control of French Ministry of Defence today. Initially, the school was located in the Latin Quarter of central Paris, and it moved to Palaiseau on the Saclay Plateau about 14 km (8.7 mi) southwest of Paris in 1976. It is a founding member of the ParisTech grouping of leading Paris-area engineering schools, established in 2007.
Ecole Polytechnique – Paris commonly known as Polytechnique or, in France, by the nickname X) is a state-run institution of higher education and research in Palaiseau, Essonne, France, near Paris. Polytechnique is renowned for its four year undergraduate/graduate Master's programCalled the Ingénieur Polytechnicien (polytechnic engineer) program, this attracts the strongest students from the two-year post-secondary-school science and math preparatory programs for the grandes écoles, provides those who pass the famously selective entrance exam with a broad scientific education, and opens the way for many of them to careers in positions of influence in government, industry, finance, and research. In addition to the 2000 polytechnic engineer students (of which only 1000 study on campus), there are 200 students pursuing two-yearMaster's degrees and 500 doctoral students, for a relatively small total enrollment of 2700.
Ecole Polytechnique – Paris is one of the grandes écoles that have traditionally prepared technocrats to lead French government and industry, and has been one of the most privileged routes into the elite divisions of the civil service known as the grands corps de l'état. This role is evolving. Since 1995, Polytechnique has admitted a significant number of international applicants to its polytechnic engineer program, and 20% of each cohort are now foreign students. The portion of graduates pursuing further university education, such as a second Master's degree or a doctorate, rather than entering the French civil service, has been growing in recent years to over 30%.
The mission of the Ecole Polytechnique – Paris is to train students capable of devising and achieving complex and innovative projects at the highest level possible, thanks to a strong pluriscientific culture. Our mission is also to train young men and women in leadership skills so that they can become tomorrow's outstanding scientists, researchers, managers and public officials.
Life on Ecole Polytechnique – Paris campus therefore offers a full range of cultural activities, shows, conferences, exhibitions and all kinds of activities.

École Polytechnique's Social Welfare Committee (CASEP) oversees the social activities organised for the École's civilian and military staff and their families: It organises the Christmas tree and offers holidays, a ticket office for shows, activities for children on Wednesdays, etc. Ecole Polytechnique is in the Essonne Department, an area rich in heritage and cultural life, and is also close to Paris. There is therefore plenty of culture available to students and staff living on campus.
Ecole Polytechnique – Paris has a combined undergraduate-graduate general engineering teaching curriculum as well as a graduate school. In addition to the faculty coming from its local laboratories, it employs many researchers and professors from other institutions, including other CNRS, INRIA and CEA laboratories as well as the École Normale Supérieure and nearby institutions such as the École Supérieure d'Électricité (Supélec), the Institut d'Optique or the Université Paris-Sud, creating a varied and high-level teaching environment. The school also has a doctoral program open to students with a master's degree or equivalent.

An originality of Polytechnique is that in addition to full-time teaching staff (exercice complet), who do research at the École in addition to a full teaching service, there are partial-time teaching staff (exercice incomplet) who do not do research on behalf of the École and carry only a partial teaching load. Part-time teaching staff are often recruited from research institutions (CNRS, CEA, INRIA...) operating inside the École campus, in the Paris region, or even sometimes elsewhere in France. In international rankings, Ecole Polytechnique – Paris is often placed among the best universities of the world. The Academic Ranking of World Universities, also known as the Shanghai Rankings, places Polytechnique in 2010 at 201-300 worldwide, and 8-13 in France.
