MINES ParisTech AND ITS VALUES
.
www.mines-paristech.eu
The way we operate gives value to both the spirit of initiative
and entrepreneurship.
It creates real dynamics in the organization and an exceptional
motivation of the actors.
Romain Soubeyran
Director of MINES ParisTech
TALENT IS MINE
MINES ParisTech is a hive of talent.
To Mines graduates, an unlimited range of career opportunities worldwide is
open.
CREATIVITY IS MINE
An entrepreneurial spirit is one of
the fundamental values symbolic of
MINES ParisTech. It drives our tea-
ching philosophy and opens the way
to ambitious projects.
EXCELLENCE IS MINE
The fundamental principles of our
teaching are based on regular gui-
dance and supervision. The limited
numbers of students per class ensures individual tutoring.
Two Nobel laureates have been MINES ParisTech students : Georges Charpak
(Physics, 1992) and Maurice Allais (Economics, 1988).
Many Research prizes are awarded each year to MINES ParisTech.
CHALLENGE IS MINE
Our executive engineers have become a reference in many companies. From year
to year they contribute substantially to the negotiation of many kinds of indus-
trial research contracts.
INNOVATION IS MINE
Our executive engineers beneft from an exceptionally favourable study environ-
ment. Our courses are demanding, are continuously adapted to innovative tech-
nologies and match challenging professional stakes.
THE WORLD IS MINE
Students from many countries, work placements and internships abroad, interna-
tional networks... MINES ParisTech is a world-focussed institution.
A fundamental aspect of our institution and teaching methods is multiculturalism.
SCIENCE IS MINE
We train executive engineers in preparation for every feld of research. Our multi-
discipline courses allow them to approach industrial projects from every angle.

EDUCATION AT MINES ParisTech
A distinctive feature of the training programmes at MINES ParisTech is the limited
annual intake of students thereby ensuring individual tutoring. The teaching is pro-
vided by research academics, masters of their felds, who have close links with the
economic world. The students are selected, in France and abroad, according to their
motivation and their aptitude to beneft substantially from the courses. Most of the
programmes include placements in France and abroad which enable the students
to complete their theoretical training and to deal with the practical aspects of engi-
neering, research and organization.
MASTERS DEGREE IN SCIENCE AND
EXECUTIVE ENGINEERING
Inspired by the notion of practice and the prac-
tical, the training of Mineurs (nickname of our
engineering students) is perfectly balanced
with 1/3 in engineering sciences, 1/3 in econo-
mics and social sciences and 1/3 in projects and
practical experience.
The students are admitted through a compe-
titive examination, after the classes prpara-
toires, and are joined, in the second year, by
externally qualifed students from French and
foreign universities and the Ecole Polytech-
nique. They acquire all the skills required for
senior positions of responsibility. 86 % of them
have a job ofer before graduation.
The average annual salary for our young graduates, in 2012, was 44 900: one of the
highest in France.
OTHER MASTERS DEGREE PROGRAMMES
The specializations ofered in our Professional Masters programmes are much apprecia-
ted by our students. They are conducted in French or in English (Nuclear energy, Trans-
port and sustainable development, etc.) or linked to the Masters degree in science and
engineering programme (Energy strategies). They elicit a lot of interest among foreign
students.
11 Research Masters degrees, conducted jointly with universities, ensure that the
knowledge developed in our laboratories is widely disseminated and enhanced.
CORPS DES MINES : SENIOR CIVIL SERVICE
This programme trains senior civil servants who have already acquired sound scientifc and
technical training. After graduation, the Ingnieurs des MINES hold positions of responsi-
bility of a technical and economic nature in government departments, and specialize in eco-
nomic development, the management of TICEs, industrial safety and nuclear security.
ADVANCED MASTERS DEGREE PROGRAMMES
11 full-time Advanced Masters degrees and
5 Executive Masters degrees provide high-le-
vel specialization or dual qualifcation. Candi-
dates are recruited among French and foreign
students holding a Masters degree, engineers
wishing to acquire additional skills, or compa-
ny executives seeking to give a new impetus to
their career.
DOCTORATE
The mainfeature of doctoral trainingat MINES ParisTechis soundscientifc knowledge, sup-
ported by the Schools research tradition and practical professional experience, resulting
fromthe synergy nurtured by the laboratories with the world of industry.
The doctorate thereby combines science and industry in an internationally recognized
training programme.
MINES ParisTech, SINCE 1783 RESEARCH AT MINES ParisTech
MINES ParisTech is a Grande Ecole centred on its research activities. It encom-
passes all felds of scientifc knowledge thanks to 18 innovative research centres
exploring fve major felds.
Earth Sciences and Environment
Energy and Processes
Mechanical and Materials Engineering
Mathematics and Systems
Economics, Management, Society
With 286 research academics, 391 doctoral students and 50 post-doctoral students,
MINES ParisTech ranks top among the Grandes Ecoles for the volume of contractual
research.

LABORATORIES
The schools laboratories are part-
ly associated with the CNRS, the
Ecole Polytechnique, INSERM, IN-
RIA, Institut Pasteur, etc. Their re-
search, at the intersection of many
felds, has led to the emergence
of new disciplines (geostatistics,
mathematical morphology and
automatic control systems) which
are now studied by the scienti-
fc community and disseminated
throughout industry and the ser-
vices.
CLOSELY LINKED
TEACHING AND
RESEARCH
The range of education pro-
grammes engineer, masters,
advanced masters and docto-
rate are coordinated by research
academics working in the labora-
tories. Consequently, the students
are up-to-date with the reality of
technical, economic and social is-
sues.
A BROAD
INTERNATIONAL
DIMENSION
Of the 30 million in research
contracts, 30% involve at least one
foreign partner. MINES ParisTech
collaborates closely with more
than 100 diferent countries and
foreign universities.
