The European Engineering school of Chemistry, Polymers and Materials Science (ECPM) is an Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs (ENSI) that produces fully-skilled engineers in the science and technology of chemistry, polymers and materials and their interactions.
Our graduates learn how to develop the essential skills needed by engineers; pragmatism, the ability to analyse and solve complex problems, decision-taking and responsibility, communication skills, management of human and material resources, to allow them to slot seamlessly into chemistry-related business or academic life.

Career opportunities
’ECPM and future careers
Analytical sciences engineer
The analytical sciences engineer is an expert in analysing chemical species and is able to coordinate the implementation of a technique or a consistent set of analytical techniques. He/she is able to process, interpret and validate the results. He/she is able to handle an analytical problem from its initial stage through to resolution. He/she is able to manage and coordinate a specialist analytical team.
KEY WORDS: physico-chemistry, extraction, separation, characterisation, quantification, spectroscopy, chromatography, instrumentation, metrology, quality assurance.
Organic Sciences Engineer
The organic sciences engineer is an expert in synthesizing organic molecules, he/she draws up and coordinates the implementation of a multi-stage synthetic scheme. He/she tracks the progress and the results of the syntheses conducted using suitable physico-chemical methods of analysis (separating techniques, structural determination techniques, etc.). He/she is able to manage and coordinate a specialist team working on the organic synthesis of components with highly specific properties.
KEY WORDS: multi-stage organic synthesis, extraction, purification, separation, determination of structure, spectroscopy, chromatography
