Frequently Asked Questions

PSL is a collegiate research university made up of top-tier institutions like ENS, Mines Paris, ESPCI, Dauphine, Institut Curie, and others. That structure lets PSL combine historic schools with shared governance and interdisciplinary missions. It excels in research output—over 100 ERC grants awarded—and partner networks that span science, humanities, engineering, and arts. Its cross-institution model enables students to access diverse disciplines and facilities while benefiting from a unified academic identity.
PSL offers over 60 master’s programs and nearly as many undergraduate tracks, spanning six inclusive fields: life sciences, material sciences, cognitive science, economics, humanities and social sciences, AI and engineering. Many programs are taught entirely or partly in English, attracting 20‑25% international students. 90‑plus labs and research initiatives support this ecosystem, fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and interdisciplinary student engagement.
Selective varies by level: undergraduate programs—especially CPES and Sciences tracks—often see historic acceptance rates as low as ~4%, reflecting high demand. Graduate and international intake is more open, with overall rates ranging from ~70‑80% depending on program. That said, PSL emphasizes academic excellence—strong GPA, research aptitude, letters, and language skills are essential. Some programs accompany interviews or written applications, particularly in research-intensive master's tracks.
