École Centrale Casablanca was created in 2013 when the Moroccan and French governments signed a partnership agreement. Developed on the Écoles Centrale model, École Centrale Casablanca’s three-year post-Preparatory Class Engineering program leads to the award of a Moroccan national diploma.

During the first year, students complete a joint series of modules of the program, common to every option. Students are encouraged to go abroad for a semester to study with a partner school or university, or work in a company within the network.

For those who wish to explore the international dimension further, or gain a long-term professional experience, the school gives them the opportunity to complete a placement year at the end of the 2nd year.

Over the course of the 3rd year, students gain sectorial specialization and discover careers. The program ends with a six-month internship, and an end-of-studies project that supports their evolution towards the world of work.

Alongside its engineering program, École Centrale Casablanca also offers a Specialized Master’s degree in Leadership and Innovative Projects, aiming at training high-level professionals with the skills to manage complex projects.

Centrale Casablanca aims at becoming a pan-African hub of higher education, fully integrated in the West African, French-speaking entrepreneurship ecosystem. Centrale Casablanca opens the doors of the international network of other Écoles Centrale and to the best scientific research in the world. Its objective is to train today the African elites of tomorrow.

In 2014, a new École Centrale opened in India: Mahindra École Centrale (MEC).

Mahindra École Centrale is a private teaching institution created by CentraleSupélec with Mahindra Educational Institutes (Mahindra Group) in partnership with the Jawaharlal Technological University. The school is located on the Bahadurpally campus of Tech Mahindra in Hyderabad.

The Engineering program leads to the award of a Bachelor degree, an Indian national diploma. The first two years are modeled on the first two years of Preparatory Classes to French Grandes Écoles. Introductory lessons in engineering are progressively integrated with management and creativity lessons in the third year. The final two years enable students to specialize, either in Mechanical Engineering, IT and Logistics Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Civil Engineering.

The teaching methodology is inspired by CentraleSupélec’s own methodology, with lessons adopting a systemic approach, activities dedicated to developing skills including leadership, creativity, teamwork and a real openness to the world of business and the world via student exchanges, internships and participation of international professionals and instructors.

In 2005, Écoles Centrale Group, together with Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics), created École Centrale Beijing. This initiative brings together the broad-based, international and business-oriented École Centrale education to Beihang’s high academic standards. Écoles Centrale Group thus became the first French Engineering Grande École group to export its excellence and teaching model abroad.

École Centrale Beijing offers a six-year program to train high-level generalized, versatile and trilingual engineers. After intensive language training, students spend two years completing Preparatory Classes before entering the three remaining years of the Engineering program, recognized by the French Commission for Engineering degrees.

École Centrale Beijing has signed privileged partnership agreements within the business world, a lever for it to develop economic links between France and China by providing general, bicultural engineers for employment.

Beyond initial training and close relationships with industry, the school has a strong culture of research. It collaborates closely with Beihang University on specific research projects.

Come to CentraleSupélec for a semester or a Summer School
 

Spring semester in English 

This programme is an opportunity to spend one semester at CentraleSupélec (the Spring semester of year 4 of higher education), even for 3^rd- or 4^th-year engineering Bachelor students coming from non-partner institutions.

Two tracks are offered in various fields: the semester by coursework, where students take courses in English in their area of interest and work in teams on a project; and the semester by research, where students spend the majority of the semester working on a project supervised by a researcher in one of CentraleSupélec’s laboratories and take 10 ECTS of courses taught in English in relation to their project. Options are offered on our three campuses – Paris-Saclay, Rennes and Metz – depending on the field of research.

Upon successful completion, students will be provided with a transcript of records. Home institutions can transfer them to their own grading system towards graduation of the students.

Even though a basic knowledge of French is recommended for daily life, it is not a pre-requisite to apply to this programme.

Master’s degrees

CentraleSupélec coordinates and collaborates in several high-level Master’s degree programmes, open to European and international students who completed at least their Bachelor degree or are finishing their engineering curriculum. These programmes lead to the award of a French national degree by Université Paris-Saclay, easily identifiable on the international scale. Upon graduation, students can either pursue their studies with a PhD or join the job market in high-ranking company positions.

CentraleSupélec’s Master’s degrees reflect the areas of development of its research, in link with the needs of its industrial and academic partners.  

Some of these Master’s programmes are taught in English.
