The Centrale Engineer
Founded in 1990, the Group of Écoles Centrale consists of Centrale Supélec, Centrale Lille, Centrale Lyon, Centrale Nantes, and Centrale Méditerranée, collaborating closely on an ongoing basis to ensure, in addition to a common entrance examination, a cohesive teaching model, a synchronized international strategy, and mobility between the schools.
The Centrale Engineer
Écoles Centrale share the same principles, the same assignments, and the same perception of the future.
The primary assignment of its schools is to educate interdisciplinary general engineers and doctors capable of innovatively addressing the challenges of our society. In France, the Écoles Centrale Group produces over 2,000 engineers every year. It fulfils the standards of academic and research excellence due to the dedication of over 800 permanent teachers and researchers and no fewer than 2,000 external contributors.
The Objectives shared by the Group of Écoles Centrale are as follows:
- A pedagogical approach grounded in a set of five abilities as a fundamental basis.
- Standardization of training programs and recruitment, both in France and abroad.
- Exchange programs for third-year engineering students (Master level).
- Coordination of research policies, and affirmation of complementarities.
- Development of relationships with companies and international cooperation.
- Promotion of the École Centrale concept, both in France and abroad, by enhancing its reputation with institutions and the business community.
