The school at the heart of Université Paris-Saclay

CentraleSupélec participates in six LabEx (Laboratories of Excellence), two EquipEx (Equipment of Excellence) and one IRT (Institute for Technological Research) as part of the Université Paris-Saclay.

CentraleSupélec is a leading actor in the Paris-Saclay IdEx, labeled an “excellence initiative”. The aim of this IdEx is to roll out the activities of Université Paris-Saclay.

These successes position CentraleSupélec in relation to major societal issues: energy, digital society, health, nanosciences, environment and risks.

Within IdEx, CentraleSupélec works in synergy particularly with Paris-Sud University and ENS Cachan. The development of these successful projects demonstrates strong ties with our partners and our capacity to develop a prestigious university. Université Paris-Saclay aims to be one of the top 10 hubs for teaching and research worldwide.

The Université Paris-Saclay Doctoral College brings together 20 specialized doctoral schools associated with research laboratories. CentraleSupélec works with five Université Paris-Saclay doctoral schools.

(crédit: Université Paris-Saclay).

The objective of this doctoral college is to organize the doctoral policy and coordinate and pool certain activities within and across doctoral schools. It guarantees the quality of high-level scientific training and international scientific visibility. CentraleSupélec collaborates with five of the Université Paris-Saclay doctoral schools:

• École Doctorale de Mathématiques Hadamard (EDMH) [Doctoral School of Hadamard Mathematics]

CentraleSupélec awards specialization diplomas in its main fields of expertise:

• Automation
• Energy
• IT
• Telecommunications
• Signal Processing and Electronics

The specialization program is similar to the 3rd year of one of the Supélec Engineering program majors: a period of six months comprising classes, study groups, experimental activities and projects, followed by end-of-studies work in a company. The degree obtained specifies the speciality. Students must have obtained a Master’s degree or equivalent (five years of higher education) in order to apply.

The CentraleSupélec global offer of Master’s degree programs is managed by each campus

These programs are open to international students who fulfill the following admission criteria:

• Nomination by a partner university having signed a Master’s agreement with CentraleSupélec
• Expectation of earning a Bachelor’s degree at the end of the current academic year or of having completed at least four years of higher education studies (equivalent to 240 ECTS credits)

Students are admitted directly in the 2nd year of the Master’s program and obtain the degree after one year of studies. Due to the nature of their organization, Master’s programs must be completed in their entirety.

Candidates can apply to the 14 Master’s programs (“Mentions”) and the 40 tracks (“Parcours” Master 2) offered by CentraleSupélec.

Why is an international experience compulsory?

As the old adage says: “travel shapes the young mind!” and indeed, experience has shown us that students leave and young adults return. In its two forms, academic and professional, international mobility is a singular learning and maturing experience. CentraleSupélec has long understood the value of this as it has been a compulsory requirement of its program for over a decade. Lasting for a minimum of one continuous semester, similar to Erasmus mobility, to as long as two years, in the T.I.M.E. double-degree model, the average time spent abroad by a CentraleSupélec student is 13 months.

What does a student learn abroad?

First of all, separation. Indeed, it is with separation that the real learning begins. Leaving your school, your friends, your family and your comfort zone requires a lot of effort and determination.

After the anxiety has passed and once you are onboard the plane or train, the journey begins, and strangely, you feel a sense of freedom.

The shock can be violent at the beginning, to find one’s way and settle in. But fortunately our partner institutions have very good support systems. Thus begins a journey of discovery and exploration of the new environment. A different language, a surprising culture, different food, new codes and values to discuss and share, a different teaching or working environment – and new friends! The honeymoon period where everything is new, interesting and challenging lasts for a few months.

And then the culture shock takes over. Feeling fed up, loss of bearings, sensory overload, contusion and irritation, homesickness – you may find yourself in a vulnerable position of disarray that can be quite acute and painful. Although difficult to live through, this is a hurdle you overcome.

After that, begins a long process of acculturation and acceptance of the new environment with a perspective that can better balance the positive and negative aspects, and you will find a new feeling of wellbeing and equilibrium.

The transformation has taken place and the young adult returns satisfied, often with nostalgia, eager to repeat the experience.

International mobility is a rite of passage. It transforms the child into an adult and we discover ourselves. We develop new skills and adaptability, control, resilience, tolerance, we create a new friendship network, new values emerge and we start to see the world in a whole new light.

Making international mobility compulsory is the least we can do for our students and their future, to give them the opportunity to live this experience! For those students for whom this isn’t their first time abroad, their experience will be consolidated.

Students are advised to contact the International relations department of the home institutions to find out whether they have signed an agreement with CentraleSupélec regarding the Master’s program chosen.

Once students have been nominated by their home universities, they will be contacted via e-mail and will receive instructions from the CentraleSupélec International Business board.

IMPORTANT: All Master’s programs completed on the Gif-sur-Yvette and Châtenay-Malabry campuses are managed by Université Paris Saclay. Candidates must therefore apply two times:

• to CentraleSupélec (following their nomination)
• to Université Paris-Saclay website
