The university library possesses one of the largest scientific and technical collections across the whole of France, and collections date back to the sixteenth century with books, periodicals, manuscripts and maps. Material is particularly rich relating to mining, the metal industry, mineralogy and chemistry.

The university has a number of international partner schools from America to Europe which has enabled the university to form strong bonds to other successful institutions across the world.

All students have (free) access to the Mineralogy Museum, which is located in the former Hôtel de Vendôme. The museum is considered one of the top collections in the world and serves as a constant reference for those working and studying within mineralogy.

Notable alumni include Maurice Allais, a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences 1988, Louis Paul Cailletet (1832–1913), a physicist and inventor, and Jean-Martin Folz, former CEO of PSA Peugeot Citroën.
