Centrale Méditerranée

About Centrale Méditerranée
Centrale Méditerranée trains engineers with a sense of responsibility, high scientific standards, strong values and the ability to manage complexity. They are capable of integration and synthesis, creativity and innovation, with a solid international culture and the ability to undertake, share and manage programmes.

What sets Centralien engineers apart is their ability to take action in companies and organisations to meet the environmental and societal challenges of our time, by finding systemic solutions to mitigate climate change, preserve ecosystems and adapt to these challenges. As a result, from the very first weeks, each student builds a tailor-made pathway, thanks to an unprecedented rhythm that alternates academic teaching with immersive weeks in professional environments, enabling learning through experience.

Based on a skills-based approach, designed in conjunction with the Centrale Group and implemented in a unique way at our school, our curriculum allows for greater personalisation through a very wide range of choices, so that each vocation can be forged in a caring environment, enabling students to become the authors of their own career path. The integrative sandwich course offered to students ensures that they are enriched in every way, thanks to the combination of scientific and professional aspects. All engineering students benefit from a learning-by-doing approach that aims to help them gradually discover professional environments and methods, in a collaborative context.
